In Queensland, our sunshine comes with a serious responsibility: Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, and Toowoomba is no exception.

This Skin Cancer Action Week, GPs on Curzon is reminding you that regular skin checks aren’t just important, they’re essential.

🔍 Skin cancer doesn’t always look dangerous. Some of the most aggressive melanomas start as flat, pale, or pink spots that go unnoticed for months.

Our GPs are trained to detect even the subtlest signs of:

✔️ Melanoma
✔️ Basal cell carcinoma
✔️ Squamous cell carcinoma

Don’t rely on your mirror, rely on your GP.

📅 Book your skin check today and give yourself peace of mind before summer sets in.
