About Us
The Melanoma Centre’s reputation is based on our provision of meticulously thorough, full skin examinations and is exclusively devoted to mole and skin cancer diagnosis and treatment. Our doctors have undertaken advanced diagnostic and surgical skills training in skin cancer. At the Melanoma Centre we believe that there is no room for shortcuts during a mole examination, as it can place lives at risk.
Queensland's longest running private skin cancer clinic
The Melanoma Centre was established in the year 2000. The Melanoma Centre is the only fully private clinic exclusively devoted to mole and skin cancer diagnosis and treatment in Queensland. Privately owned and operated, The Melanoma Centre has no connection with corporate owned or bulk-billing skin cancer clinic chains.
On 31st October 2016, The Melanoma Centre team relocated to new, modern premises conveniently located in Spring Hill Marketplace. The new practice is located on level 1, alongside Turbot Street Medical Centre. The practice is easily accessible, with 2 hour free parking and disabled access.
In April 2023 we outgrew our Spring Hill practice and relocated to an even larger practice in South Bank. We are now located at in the South Point South Bank shopping centre on 275 Grey Street, South Brisbane.
