☀️🧴 Melanoma March – Book Your Skin Check Today! 🧴☀️

March is Melanoma awareness month — a reminder to prioritise your skin health. In Australia, melanoma is one of the most common skin cancers, but early detection saves lives.

We’re proud to offer professional skin checks performed by many of our doctors. Early detection and expert care make all the difference.

Why a skin check matters:
🔎 Melanoma can develop without obvious symptoms
🔎 Early detection is highly treatable
🔎 A professional check can catch issues you might not notice

What to look for (ABCDE rule):
✔️ Asymmetry
✔️ Border irregularity
✔️ Colour variation
✔️ Diameter (larger than 6mm)
✔️ Evolving (changing in size, shape or colour)

📞 Call us 4225 5600 or book online at https://www.gph.org.au/clinics/shell-cove-family-health/

Your skin health is worth it!

Living with chronic pain can affect more than just your body, it can impact your mood, confidence and quality of life.

One participant in our free Chronic Pain Program shared:
“It hasn’t fixed my illness, but it has changed how I live with it. That has made a huge difference.”

After decades of ongoing pain, they found practical tools, support and a new way of understanding their condition.

Our Chronic Pain Program supports adults living in South Eastern NSW with education, therapy and practical strategies to better manage persistent pain.

If you’ve been living with pain for more than three months, you don’t have to manage it alone

As we continue to welcome new patients and families to the clinic — and with some of our doctors currently having their books open — we thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce our practice and the team behind your care.

We are a multidisciplinary general practice dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of our community.

Our team includes:

👩‍⚕️ 12 experienced General Practitioners, each with their own areas of interest and approach to care
👩‍⚕️ Skilled practice nurses supporting preventative health, procedures, health assessments, and care plans
🤝 On-site allied health including pathology, clinical and registered psychologists, sports physiotherapy, and exercise physiology
📞 Our dedicated administration and reception team — often the first friendly faces and voices you meet — who help coordinate appointments, support patient enquiries, and keep the clinic running smoothly each day

By working together under one roof, we aim to provide coordinated, patient-centred care for individuals and families at every stage of life.

We’re grateful for the trust our community places in us and look forward to continuing to support your healthcare journey.
