High-quality care in a safe environment
Canberra Clinic Plus hosts two distinct, specialised centres within our clinic, each dedicated to delivering expert care in specific areas of health.
Our Skin Screening Centre focuses on preventive care through comprehensive skin checks, using advanced diagnostic tools to detect skin cancer early. Our team of skilled professionals is committed to providing thorough assessments and personalised care plans to safeguard your skin health.
In a separate, dedicated setting within our clinic, the Vasectomy Centre offers a specialised service for men seeking permanent contraception. Our experienced clinicians provide a safe, minimally invasive procedure with a focus on comfort, privacy, and a smooth recovery process.
Both centres operate independently within Canberra Clinic Plus, ensuring that each patient receives specialised, focused care in a supportive and professional environment.
Australia has one of the highest skin cancer rates globally, with non-melanoma skin cancer being the most commonly diagnosed. As reported by Cancer Council Australia, over a million treatments are administered for these cancers annually.
The good news is that early and regular skin screening has significantly improved survival rates. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, melanoma survival rates are relatively high. For those diagnosed between 2007 and 2011, there was a 90% chance of surviving at least five years, comparable to the general Australian population.
Your risk heightens with age and if you or a family member have had skin cancer. You’re also at increased risk if you have fair complexion, multiple moles, have had bad sunburn previously, if you spend a lot of time outdoors, or use solariums or sun lamps.
Detecting skin cancer symptoms early can significantly improve your chances of successful treatment. It is important you become familiar with your skin so that you can notice any changes early.
Speak to your doctor about being checked for skin cancer and discuss any areas of your skin that are worrying you. For example, if you notice any change in shape, colour or size of a mole or freckle, or if you develop a new spot.
Using a smartphone app to self-diagnose skin cancer is NOT recommended, as it hasn’t been shown to be accurate or verified.
A vasectomy is a permanent contraceptive method for men, a one-time intervention with a success rate exceeding 99%, making it highly reliable. According to Health Direct Australia, about one in four Australian men over the age of 40 has had a vasectomy.
A vasectomy involves a minor surgical procedure which involves making a small puncture to block the vas deferens, stopping sperm from being released. It blocks the vas deferens, the tubes transporting sperm from the testicles. This blockage prevents sperm from mixing with seminal fluid, so while ejaculation still occurs, the semen contains no sperm, thereby eliminating the risk of pregnancy.
If you’re considering a vasectomy, please book a consultation with our experienced team to discuss the procedure. During this initial meeting, you will receive a comprehensive overview of what the vasectomy entails, including a detailed explanation of the process, recovery, and expected outcomes. You will also undergo an examination to confirm your suitability for local anaesthesia. This consultation is an ideal opportunity to ask questions, address any concerns, and ensure you have all the information needed to make an informed decision about your health and well-being.
