"This is our first visit to the area but we regularly travel to more than 30 rural and regional communities in Queensland," said Elaine Pye from the Flying Skin Cancer Doctor.
"We hope to gradually expand our service across rural NSW, where there is limited access to skin cancer services."
Dr Dan Morgan will be at the Parkes Hospital on Monday, April 26.
The cost is $125 for a full body check with a $38.75 rebate from Medicare.

During this visit, the Flying Skin Cancer Doctor will also be stopping in Condobolin, Trangie and Tottenham (which is already fully booked).
The Flying Skin Cancer Doctor provides comprehensive and professional skin cancer services to locals in rural and remote regions of Australia.
"By bringing our services to the community, we make it easier for local people to get regular skin checks and treatment on the spot if necessary," Ms Pye said.
Australians in rural and regional locations are at higher risk of skin cancer, but unfortunately they do not have the same access to experienced skin cancer doctors as those in metropolitan areas.
