About SkinGP
SkinGP is a purpose-built skin cancer clinic located in Woodend, in the heart of the Macedon Ranges.
We opened on 1 July 2024, and in the time since, our team has grown, our capability has expanded, and our commitment to the community has only deepened.
The clinic was founded by Dr Ashvin Arul and Dr Loshna Devamany, local doctors who identified a clear and pressing need: the Macedon Ranges had no dedicated skin cancer facility, and patients were either relying on general practice appointments or travelling to Melbourne for specialist care. SkinGP was built to change that.
Today, SkinGP is the only clinic in the Macedon Ranges with Accredited Skin Cancer Doctors - a formal designation awarded by the Skin Cancer College of Australasia, the only peak body in Australia and New Zealand that offers formal accreditation and fellowship in skin cancer medicine. This distinction is shared by only a select group of doctors across Australia.
Combined with AGPAL practice accreditation, the FotoFinder imaging system, and best-practice clinical workflows designed specifically for skin cancer, SkinGP offers a standard of dedicated skin cancer care that was previously unavailable in this region.
Our Clinical Support Team
Behind every appointment at SkinGP is a clinical team dedicated to making your experience as comfortable and supported as possible. Our skin cancer nurses assist with Total Body Photography, help prepare for and assist during procedures, and provide follow-up care. Our reception and administration team ensures every patient is welcomed, kept informed, and never feels lost in the process.
Our whole team, clinical and administrative, is local to the Macedon Ranges. We understand this community because we are part of it.
Community
SkinGP is part of the Macedon Ranges community, an independent practice staffed by people from the local area. Our doctors, nurses, and reception team all live and work here.
We believe every person in this community deserves access to expert skin cancer care without having to travel to the city to get it. That belief is what brought SkinGP to Woodend, and it's what keeps us here.
Partnerships
SkinGP supports and participates in community events across the Macedon Ranges, including Melanoma March, the Macedon Cricket Club Pink Stumps Day and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation.
We are committed to raising awareness of skin cancer prevention and early detection across our region.
Accreditation
SkinGP holds AGPAL (Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited) accreditation, with policies and procedures recognised for excellence.
This independent accreditation confirms that SkinGP meets the highest standards in clinical practice, patient safety, and practice management.
