Dermatology

Skin problems accounts for 15% of work load of a routine family doctor.  With experience and knowledge, managing common skin disease should not be done by dermatologist but family doctor.  Unfortunately, dermatology is not a prominent subject to be emphasised in the current undergraduate medical curriculum.    Hence, patients with skin disease is not generally managed well at the primary care level.  A lot of unnecessary referrals are done by GP to dermatologists leading to unnecessary stress, expenditure and time.

Here we offer general dermatology service encompassing all ranges of skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, shingles, fungal infections, STI, common nail and hair pathology.

Our doctor is currently under post graduate training at the Bond University and HealthCert leading to the Professional Diploma in General Dermatology.


Welcome
Change of Billing Policy:

Effective 1 December 2024, a $35 out-of-pocket fee incurs to all private GP consultations due to the SA Government applying payroll tax on private GP billings from July 2024.
Please be noted that a $5 incl. GST Administration Fee will be added to your invoice as part of your out-of-pocket fee.
We continue to bulk-bill kids under 16y/o (Medicare card holders) and concession card holders for Weekdays appointments. Gap fee applies on all Saturday appointments.

Why is the administration fee being applied?
SA Government & Revenue SA have decided to impose payroll tax liability to independent GP private billings. However this payroll tax falls on the practice, not the practitioner. As a result of this imposition, our practice has been forced to revise the billing policy to cover the additional operating cost.

We encourage all patients to sign the petition raised by RACGP to object the payroll tax so that we can continue to deliver an affordable service to patients.
