Skin cancer detection - find a GP

The Skin Cancer Prevention Partnership – A Framework for Action 2023-28 outlines Preventive Health SA’s multi-strategy approach to skin cancer prevention. Under this partnership Preventive Health SA funds dermoscopy training of General Practitioners (GPs) and Cancer Council SA provides dermatoscopes to graduates of the training.

This training is part of Preventive Health SA’s efforts to reduce the harms of UV exposure. GPs play a pivotal role in the prevention, early detection, and management of all skin cancers. The use of dermoscopy in general practice will improve early detection rates of skin cancer resulting in more lives saved.

It is recommended that:

• people become familiar with their own skin and check their skin regularly
• people consult their doctor if they notice changes to their skin.

This list provides details of GPs who have completed training in skin cancer checks (dermoscopy) funded by Preventive Health SA. It aims to assist both consumers seeking skin checks and other clinicians looking for practitioners with a special interest in the area.
