Skin Cancer
Dr. Karen Ramsay completed her Master of Medicine (Skin Cancer) degree in 2013.

Dr. Ramsay has many years of experience in skin cancer detection and removal and will advise you on options available for treatment, if appropriate.  Skin checks normally take 15 minutes and your whole body will be examined thoroughly for any suspicious lesions.  Treatments could be topical, surgical excision or cryotherapy.

You will be advised if you need to rebook for removal of a skin lesion to be sent off to pathology for diagnosis.

Please note:  Dr Ramsay is not taking new patients.
 

Aviation
Dr Nicole Dever is a full member of the Australasian Society of Aerospace Medicine (ASAM) and is a qualified Designated Aviation Medical Examiner (DAME) with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia (CASA).

Aviation medicals are conducted via appointment only as information needs to be obtained prior and investigations ordered as needed. Bookings will need to be made by phoning reception. Please notify reception of your ARN (Aviation Reference Number) and the Class of Medical (1, 2 or 3) for which you are applying. Further information can then be forwarded to you regarding necessary ancillary tests to be done prior to your appointment.

Aviation medicals and associated pathology and specialist tests are not covered by Medicare. This may not be the case if your regular doctor orders a blood test which is deemed necessary for your general medical care. All investigations within 3 months of your aviation medical are deemed valid. Please bring these results with you or ask for a copy to go directly to your DAME.
