The Melanoma Centre

The Melanoma Centre Established in year 2000, The Melanoma Centre is the Queensland's longest running fully private skin cancer clinic.

At the Melanoma Centre we believe that there is no room for shortcuts during a mole examination, as it can place lives at risk. The Melanoma Centre was established in the year 2000. The Melanoma Centre is the only fully private clinic exclusively devoted to mole and skin cancer diagnosis and treatment in Queensland. Privately owned and operated, The Melanoma Centre has no connection with corporate owned or bulk-billing skin cancer clinic chains. On 31st October 2016, The Melanoma Centre team relocated to new, modern premises conveniently located in Spring Hill Marketplace. The new practice is located on level 1, alongside Turbot Street Medical Centre. The practice is easily accessible, with 2 hour free parking and disabled access.

Melanoma doesn’t always look dramatic.

It can appear as:
• A new mole
• A changing spot
• An irregular border
• Multiple colours
• A lesion that looks different from others

Always trust your instincts. If something looks or feels different, have it checked. Melanoma can spread quickly, but when caught early, it is treatable.

Your skin tells a story and make sure you’re listening.

Radiation doesn’t just come from medical treatments, the sun is the biggest source of radiation exposure to our skin. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation penetrates the skin and can damage DNA inside skin cells, accelerating ageing and significantly increasing the risk of skin cancers, including melanoma.

This damage often builds up silently over time, even without sunburn. That’s why daily sun protection, regular skin checks, and early detection are so important, especially here in Queensland, where UV levels are frequently high.

Noticed a new spot or a change in your skin? Don’t ignore it. Book a professional skin check with our experienced team at (07) 3846 0990 or online.

Not all sunglasses are the same. Proper UV-blocking sunglasses help protect your eyes and the delicate skin around them from long-term sun damage. Extended UV exposure has been linked to eye conditions and may increase the risk of eye cancers over time.

When choosing sunglasses, look for labels that say "100% UVA & UVB protection" or "UV absorption up to 400 nm." Dark lenses alone don’t mean better protection, it’s the UV filter that matters. Wrap-around or larger frames offer extra coverage, and kids should always wear proper UV-rated sunglasses, not toy versions.

Protect your eyes the same way you protect your skin, daily and year-round.

If you have concerns about sun damage around the eyes or skin changes, book a skin check with our team.

In Queensland’s summer, UV radiation can damage your skin even when it doesn’t feel hot. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50 or higher) whenever the UV Index is forecast to be 3 or above, and reapply every two hours, especially if you’re outdoors, swimming, or sweating.

Combine sunscreen with sun-protective clothing, hats, shade and sunglasses for the best protection. Daily sun protection is one of the most effective ways to reduce your lifetime risk of skin cancer.

Heatwaves can place extra stress on your body, especially during prolonged periods of high temperatures. Stay well by drinking plenty of water, limiting outdoor activities during peak heat, wearing loose and breathable clothing, and seeking shade whenever possible. If you feel dizzy, weak, or unwell, stop what you’re doing and cool down immediately. Planning ahead during hot weather helps protect both your overall health and your skin.

If you’re unsure how heat may affect your health or medications, speak with your GP for personalised advice.

When was your last skin check? Many skin cancers, including melanoma, can develop without obvious symptoms, especially in their early stages.

Early detection saves lives.

Queensland summers mean high UV levels, even on cloudy days. Daily sunscreen use is one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk of skin cancer, including melanoma.

Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 50+, apply it generously, and reapply every two hours, especially if you’re outdoors, sweating, or swimming. Sunscreen works best when combined with hats, protective clothing, shade, and regular skin checks.

Protecting your skin today helps prevent serious issues tomorrow. Book a skin check with us to stay on top of your skin health.

Sun damage can build up over time, especially in Queensland’s high-UV environment. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a proven treatment used to manage widespread sun damage and actinic keratoses or so called sun spots that may develop into skin cancer if left untreated.

PDT works by targeting damaged cells while preserving healthy skin, making it an effective, non-surgical option for suitable patients.

If you’ve noticed rough, scaly patches or ongoing sun damage, a professional skin assessment is the first step.

Book your consultation with our experienced team or book online.

January in Queensland often means high UV levels, even on cloudy or humid days. Incidental sun exposure, school drop-offs, walking the dog, or quick trips outside, all those can still add up and increase your risk of skin cancer over time.

Making sun protection a daily habit and staying familiar with your skin can make a real difference. If you’ve noticed a new spot, a change in an existing mole, or something that just doesn’t look right, it’s worth getting checked.

If you’d like to talk with a GP about your skin or book a professional skin check, appointments are available, book online or contact our clinic to get started.
