Thinking of selling your practice?
As a skin cancer clinic owner, you have invested time, money and hard work into your practice over the years. However, whether you are looking to pursue new ventures or are ready to retire to enjoy life after work, there may come a time when it makes sense to consider your exit options.
Join private network for peace of mind
Being a dedicated private business with patient and industry interests at heart, we can help provide the comfort you seek as opposed to selling to a purely financial buyers which may not share your passion for your patients and practice. With us, you will not have to shut your clinic and move into a general practice. We offer ‘business as usual’ but with added benefits of access to resources and expertise. You can continue to enjoy clinical independence and send your pathology to the laboratory of your choice.

Our team consists of handpicked, specially trained medical practitioners and support staff who all share a passion for skin cancer, a common purpose and our core values.
Make a difference
Our innovative skin cancer centre model allows us to move skin cancer management from public hospitals to primary care and fill the void in skin cancer services created by a shortage of specialists. By improving the access to inexpensive skin cancer care, we take a vital step towards reducing the mortality and morbidity of skin cancer. Our goal is to build a network of 30 centres across Australia that are centres of excellence. We have chosen to find existing centres where owners want to join a like minded group and move from an isolated environment to working with leaders in the field. Leverage off our collective clinical and business knowledge for the benefits of our patients. The decision to join us is not insignificant for you or us as a decision like this is similar to getting married. Something that requires both parties to know we are a good fit and the best for both of us long term.
