A suburb that loves its gardens
Camberwell’s leafy streets and big backyards mean plenty of hours outdoors: the Camberwell Sunday Market, weekend gardening, walks to the Junction. That steady, everyday sun is exactly the kind of exposure people underestimate, and it’s why regular checks matter even if you rarely burn.
How to get here
By car: south along Burke Road towards Malvern Road, then to 1601 Malvern Road, Glen Iris. On-site parking.
Public transport: the nearest train station is Gardiner, on the Glen Waverley line, about a 5-minute walk from the clinic. The route 72 tram (Melbourne University to Camberwell) stops directly outside of the clinic.
Skin checks at every age
For adults: A full skin check takes 30 to 40 minutes and includes total body photography, a head-to-toe examination with a digital dermatoscope and a clear result before you leave. Most adults should have one every year.
For older family members: Skin cancer risk rises with age and years of sun. If a parent or grandparent has never had a professional check, or has noticed spots that are changing, a full skin check is a good place to start. If a biopsy or treatment is needed, it’s done at the same clinic, usually at a short follow-up appointment.
For teenagers: We see young people with a parent or guardian present. To protect their privacy, we don’t do full total body photography for anyone under 18; instead, we take targeted images of any spots of concern. Call reception to book.

Is a dermatologist better for a skin check?
Not necessarily, and you don’t need a referral to see us. Most of our doctors are Accredited Skin Cancer Doctors, who have completed advanced training and formal assessment in skin cancer medicine through the Skin Cancer College of Australasia. We diagnose and treat most skin cancers here, and refer to a dermatologist or surgeon when a case needs one, sending your results and images ahead of time.
