The National Skin Cancer Centres are Australia’s leading provider of skin cancer services, dedicated to delivering effective, quick and low-cost access to diagnosis and treatment. We place a strong emphasis on excellence in medical care, which is strengthened by our commitment to research and education.

Driven by a passion to make a difference and the vision of a world where nobody dies from skin cancer, the health and happiness of our patients are at the forefront of everything we do. We address skin concerns with expert consultations, accurate diagnoses and personalised treatments.

Paul Elmslie recognised the need for innovation of the current skin cancer management method after the unnecessary death of a 31‐year‐old mother of two who died from an SCC on her lip while waiting for nine months to receive treatment at a public hospital. He subsequently pioneered in the development of the skin cancer clinic model in the late 1990s, and built 18 skin cancer clinics across Australia with Matt Woollard and Damien Peutherer.

Provide access to the best skin cancer doctors
We have a stringent process for choosing our teams and help to nurture skill development through our sister company, HealthCert. We look for doctors who are passionate about skin cancer, postgraduate trained in the field, clinically independent, and compassionate towards our patients.

Provide a trained support team
To ensure the best care, our practices have a dedicated team of nurses and administration staff with an exceptional ability to communicate and serve our patients with distinction. Our nurses go through specific training to ensure they can assist and deliver patient excellence.

Delight the patients in greatest need
To delight patients, each step of their skin check journey must exceed expectations. We have built systems to meet this goal, from getting to know our patients to measuring their happiness, educating them in skin cancer prevention and detection, and delivering excellent customer service.

The most experienced senior management in the industry
Our success has been a culmination of hundreds of medical and non-medical professionals’ inputs over 20 years. This channeling of collective intelligence has been to a leadership team regarded as the most experienced primary care skin cancer management team in the world.

Optimised systems throughout the network
We have built systems to ensure we deliver a service that is second to none, optimized to ensure our doctors and staff deliver the best possible skin cancer care and optimize productivity of all team members.

State of the art purpose build facilities
We provide the necessary facilities and tools to offer the highest standard in skin cancer care. It is important to have the latest, proven technology to help with accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis and management and create a point of difference from other service providers.

Making a difference
We are in the community raising skin cancer awareness and training hairdressers and allied health professionals to detect suspicious lesions. We provide GPs with a service for patients outside their scope of practice and contribute to the wider medical community through participating in vital research.

Ensuring our long-term future
We separate the clinical and operational sides of our business via our Clinical Advisory Board which helps make clinical decisions. We also measure success with key performance indicators.
