About Us

Who we are

At The Skin Cancer Clinic Claremont we are a doctor-patient partnership utilising advanced technology to screen, identify and treat skin cancers early. Two thirds of Australians will have a skin cancer by 60 years of age. Patient education is key to minimising the risk of skin cancer in Australia and a priority for our clinic.

By fostering open communication, providing personalised treatment plans, and offering education on prevention and early detection, we strive to improve patient outcomes and promote long-term skin health. Together, we can work towards a future where skin cancer is effectively managed and lives are saved.

Why choose an accredited skin cancer doctor?

Skin cancer doctors in Australia play an important role in skin cancer diagnosis and treatment. They have written the leading texts and algorithms that are used world wide for the identification of skin cancers.

Our skill in detecting and treating skin cancers have been well tested in world studies and we excel in what we do.

It is important that we acknowledge we are working as part of a team in Western Australia. We utilise MOHs dermatologists, plastic surgeons, radio-oncologists, medical oncologists and our amazing KirkBride Melanoma Institute on the QEII Campus in Nedlands. Together we are able to provide the best care to the people of Western Australia.
