"We Aim to Preserve the Lives of Those Affected by Skin Cancer, Promote Prevention and Skills in Self-Detection of Skin Cancer."

The community we work for

Many rural communities have difficulties in attracting General Practitioners let alone Skin Cancer doctors or general surgeons. The result is even more long-distance travel, cost and inconvenience to see a skin doctor for a diagnosis, and then another trip back for treatment. Sometimes even from regional centres, referral is made to surgical services on the coast. Our aim at The Skin Cancer Doctor is to bring subspecialised skin cancer doctors on site to small towns throughout rural and remote QLD and NSW, giving local patients access to whole body dermoscopy skin checks, and locally performed (usually same-day) surgical removal of suspicious lesions. On occasion, where required, we utilise a network of dermatologist and plastic surgeon colleagues for further patient care. Our doctors are committed to the towns we visit, and we’ve proven our worth in returning multiple times, which we plan to continue, whilst adding more locations to our network.

Who are we

The Skin Cancer Doctor is a network of highly skilled Skin Cancer Physicians who travel to regional, rural and remote locations delivering a start to finish skin cancer diagnostic and treatment service to patients and clients at a high risk of developing skin cancer.

Our goal is to detect skin cancer early, in particular melanoma, which can be life-threatening. Due to our expertise and ability to treat on the spot, we will be able to avoid unnecessary referral to regional and capital city health services.

What a great service the Flying Skin Cancer Doctor provides. Making the initial appointment is so easy and the examination is very thorough. Feeling relieved.
Please don’t think Skin Cancer isn’t something you’ll ever get. Regular check ups and early detection is the key to survival.
These fantastic friendly Drs provide this service so please use them or we will lose them too.

The 5 things that happen at

The Skin Cancer Doctor Clinic

After you made the appointment, come to your booking as per the instructions on your online confirmation.

You will be greeted by the doctor’s clinical assistant and shown to a private room.

The doctor will perform a thorough skin cancer history, then visual and dermascopic skin check.

If any suspicious lesions are found, after explanation to you, the lesion may be biopsied or surgically removed, either at that time or at an allotted time later in the day or the next day.

Education will also be provided on self management of the biopsy/excision site and a plan will be made for suture removal if required. Pathology results will be sent in email letter form to your GP, and copied to yourself, outlining the procedure results and if any further follow up is required.
