It depends what type of skink it is. If it's the Southeastern five-lined skink - they have blue tails and are about 5-8 inches long -, then yes; they can cause irreversible nerve damage for the skinks contain toxins. The cat will appear 'drunk', wobbling its head from side to side after eating one. Cats can become paralysed or even die after ingesting a skink. If it's the Eastern Water skink (and if you're in Eastern Australia it most probably is), which is a brownish-green colour with black spots and around 28cm long, then so far as I've read about them, they don't harm cats. Though from personal experience I know that with my skink-loving kitten he was sick for about 3 days from what we suspect to basically be a skink overdose. Though it seems to be pretty normal for cats and dogs to eat/attack them.
I hope that helps :)
