Hidden spot. Early diagnosis. Life-saving difference.

The best melanoma is the one found before it becomes invasive.

Our pathology referral confirmed what our doctor suspected - melanoma in situ (Stage 0) - the earliest stage of melanoma.

It was found on our patient’s lower back - an area that’s easy to overlook and impossible for most people to self examine.

But even for the spots you can see, would you know what to look for?

Skin cancers can be subtle. Regular professional skin checks help detect suspicious lesions early, when treatment is most effective and least invasive.

Book a skin check with our specialist skin GP, Dr. Eddie Kanan.

Early detection saves lives.

NSW Health is advising people in the Sutherland Shire to be alert for signs and symptoms of measles after being notified of a case.

This case is a returned traveller from Southeast Asia, where there are ongoing outbreaks of measles.

The person visited several locations across the Sutherland Shire while unknowingly infectious, including healthcare facilities.

A full list of locations is available on the NSW Health website
(www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/measles/Pages/public-exposure-locations.aspx) Exposure locations and times are updated regularly.

People who attended these locations should watch for symptoms of measles. These locations do not pose an ongoing risk.

If it has been less than 6 days since the exposure at these locations and you are pregnant, have a weakened immune system or have an infant who was exposed, you are advised to contact your local Public Health Unit urgently on 1300 066 055.

There is currently an increased risk of measles in NSW, with 47 cases confirmed since 1 January 2026.

South Eastern Sydney Local Health District Public Health Physician, Dr Anthea Katelaris, said people should monitor for symptoms of measles, particularly if they have visited any of the exposure locations at the listed time.

Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is safe and effective and is given free for children at 12 and 18 months of age. It is also free in NSW for anyone born after 1965 who hasn't already had two doses.

Children under the age of 12 months can have an extra, early, dose of MMR from six months of age if they are travelling overseas. Parents should consult their GP.

People who are unsure of whether they have had two doses should get a vaccine, as additional doses are safe. This is particularly important prior to travel. MMR vaccine is available from GPs (all ages) and pharmacies (people over 5 years of age).

For more information on measles, view the measles factsheet (www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/factsheets/Pages/Measles_Factsheet.aspx)

People can also visit the Australian Government Smart Traveller website (www.smartraveller.gov.au) for information on health risks, including measles outbreaks relevant to their travel destination.

If you, or a loved one, is experiencing measles symptoms, or have questions about measles, please call your GP or healthdirect on 1800 022 222.

From 15th May, 2026 the RSV vaccine will be free for:

- Australians aged 75 and over (or 60+ for indigenous Australians)

Why Get Vaccinated?
RSV can cause severe pneumonia and serious respiratory illness in older adults, often leading to hospitalisation.
The vaccine is particularly recommended for those with existing health conditions like heart disease, lung disease, or weakened immune systems.

The flu is the most common vaccine preventable illness in Australia.

Vaccination is a safe and effective way to help protect you from the flu. By getting vaccinated, you also help protect those that are too ill or too young to be vaccinated and help slow the spread of the disease.

It is important to get the flu vaccine every year. The virus strains that cause the flu change each year and the vaccine changes each year to match these strains.

Who is eligible for a Medicare funded flu vaccine:

* Children: Aged 6 months to under 5 years.
* Seniors: Adults aged 65 years and over.
* Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people: Aged 6 months and over.
* Pregnant women: At any stage of pregnancy.
* People with high-risk medical conditions, aged 6 months and over with conditions like cardiac disease, chronic respiratory conditions (including severe asthma), chronic metabolic disorders, kidney disease, neurological conditions, or compromised immunity.

If you fall outside of these categories, we have the private flu vaccine for $25 in clinic.
