Accredited expertise you can trust
-- Be "SunSmart" - choose medical experts to look after your skin
Most people want healthy skin and wish to take better care of their skin. Yet many so-called “skin clinics” are not operated by medical staff, and many who call themselves “skin specialists” are not even medical doctors, and have very limited training. This often leads to poor outcomes and stories of regret reported by the media. We want you to “love the skin you’re in”, and our team of medical skin experts, clinical assistants and dermal therapists work together to help you achieve your skin goals. We do skin-1-2-3, patient-centered and evidence based to achieve YOUR goals.
A skin cancer check is the beginning of a journey to improve the health of your skin. It is not just about getting a check, “freeze spray”, or surgery anymore. New treatment options and medical advances have opened the door for skin experts to help you improve your sun damaged skin, reduce the risk of future skin cancers, improve your skin’s health, and remove some of those “benign but bothersome” spots without unsightly treatment scars.

Why see an expert in conditions of the skin? What makes a 'skin expert'?
A Fellow of the Australian Institute of Dermatology is a doctor who has attended medical school and undertaken at least three years of postgraduate training in diseases of the skin. Most Fellows completed training programs in other specialties such as emergency medicine or general practice prior to commencing postgraduate education in dermatology. The comprehensive training program covers all aspects of medical dermatology, dermatoscopy, dermatopathology, skin cancer, cosmetic dermatology, and procedural dermatology. On completion of the fellowship examination, trainees become ‘Fellows’ of the Australian Institute of Dermatology.
