For patients facing a melanoma diagnosis, support shouldn’t stop at surgery.

At Skin GP, most procedures are performed onsite under local anaesthetic, followed by routine check-ups, scar care guidance, and open access to your treating doctor.

Dr Tanya Katz is one of the newest members of our clinical team, and she places great importance on building strong relationships with her patients, especially during what can be a confronting chapter in their lives.

At Skin GP, we use FotoFinder ATBM technology to provide total-body photography and digital dermatoscopy. Every mole is captured in high resolution and mapped across the body, creating a baseline that can be tracked for the smallest changes over time.

The system combines sequential imaging with AI-assisted analysis, giving our doctors sharper insights into lesion risk while ensuring no detail is left to memory alone.

This level of precision defines what it means to be a dedicated skin cancer clinic: supporting earlier detection, better outcomes, and a standard of care that regional patients deserve.

Has that mole actually stayed the same, or do you just assume it has?

Most of us compare against memory; FotoFinder changes that: we photograph and map every mole at your Full Skin Check, so next time your doctor has an actual record to check against, not a guess or your memory.

It’s the same technology used in leading skin cancer clinics internationally, now available at our new Glen Iris clinic, serving Malvern, Malvern East, Camberwell, Ashburton, Hawthorn East and Burwood.

No referral needed to book.

Even on cloudy or cool days, UV radiation can cause damage to your skin.
That’s why we recommend checking the UV index daily, not just the weather.

The SunSmart Global UV app, developed by Cancer Council Australia, is a free and practical tool that provides:
✔️ Real-time UV forecasts
✔️ Alerts when sun protection is recommended
✔️ Daily sun protection times, no matter where you are

We use it. We recommend it.
It’s available globally, and it’s free.

Any doctor can offer a skin check. Accreditation is a different standard.

Our Accredited Skin Cancer Doctors have completed additional formal training and assessment through the Skin Cancer College of Australasia, on top of their standard GP qualifications. It's a distinction most GPs offering skin checks don't hold.

From October 2026, that same standard is available at our new Glen Iris clinic, serving Malvern, Malvern East, Camberwell, Ashburton, Hawthorn East and Burwood, alongside our Woodend clinic in the Macedon Ranges.

No referral is needed to book, at either location.

Dr Rhian Pickard is now an Accredited Skin Cancer Doctor.

She came to skin cancer medicine through surgical training in burns and plastics, where she spent a year treating patients with advanced melanoma, seeing firsthand what an earlier diagnosis can change. That experience has shaped her approach to dermoscopy and early detection ever since.

Accreditation through the Skin Cancer College of Australasia involves additional, formal training and assessment specifically in skin cancer medicine, on top of her existing GP qualifications. It's the same standard held by the rest of our Accredited Skin Cancer Doctors.

Congratulations, Dr Rhian, on a well-earned milestone.

SkinGP Glen Iris is officially open and now taking bookings.

Dr Ashvin Arul started SkinGP on a simple belief: early detection saves lives. Since opening in Woodend, that's meant more than 10,000 skin checks, each one using full body photography and the FotoFinder imaging system to catch what the naked eye can miss.

That same standard of care, from our Accredited Skin Cancer Doctors, is now available in Glen Iris, serving Malvern, Malvern East, Camberwell, Ashburton, Hawthorn East and Burwood.

No referral needed. Book online via our website.

Desk job, daily commute, lunch breaks outside. None of it feels like sun exposure, but according to Cancer Council Australia, untreated car side windows and sunroofs can let through up to 50% of UVA radiation, while windscreens block the majority.

Years of small, unnoticed exposure add up in exactly the same way sunburn does, just more quietly.

A Full Skin Check at SkinGP Woodend doesn't ask how much time you've spent outdoors. Our Accredited Skin Cancer Doctors examine and document every part of your skin using dermoscopy and FotoFinder total body photography.

No referral needed. Book directly via our website.
