Skin Health Checks

The ³ÉÈË´óƬ is offering a limited number of skin health checks to continuing, fixed-term and casual staff.

These appointments are now fully booked.

Sun protection is vital at every age. More than 90% of skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun. Remember, together with sun protection, early detection is your best defence against skin cancer.

On-campus skin health checks are provided by Better Medical (previously Adelaide UniCare) at the North Terrace campus. These appointments are for a SKIN CHECK only. The examination will take approx. 10-20 minutes and will be solely focused on looking at your skin.

Payment is to be made in full on the day. A Medicare rebate will be processed on the day of your appointment with a valid Medicare card. The ³ÉÈË´óƬ will reimburse $25 of the out of pocket gap. Evidence of a receipt will be required.

Dr Paul Bolton may recommend further treatment. This will be charged privately and does not form part of the Skin Check promotion through the ³ÉÈË´óƬ.

If you attend a skin health check with Better Medical you have an option to seek a $25 reimbursement (to assist in covering the Medicare gap) through the University’s finance system, KOFAX.

You will need to retain a copy of your receipt and attach it to the KOFAX reimbursement form where prompted in the system.

To seek a reimbursement if you have paid for your skin health check yourself, follow the step-by-step instructions available via the finance website.

Please note, the above options do not extend to family members and students of the University (other than students who also have a casual contract).
