REFERRALS FROM PROVIDERS
The Skin Cancer Day Surgery provides services to dermatologists who have specialised in Mohs Micrographic Surgery. In Australia, Mohs surgery is only performed by dermatologists that have completed additional post-graduate training.
Mohs surgery is the most precise way to remove skin cancer, and has the highest curative rate of any skin cancer treatment. It is also the only surgical skin cancer treatment that ensures the smallest possible wound, whilst still achieving complete tumour clearance. This is particularly advantageous when tumours grow at sites where conserving the surrounding tissue is important for functional and cosmetic reasons (e.g. face, ears, nose, lips, eyelids, hands and feet, digits, etc.).

HOW TO REFER PATIENTS
We only accept referrals regarding skin cancers, sun damage and pre-cancerous lesions. Referrals must be addressed to the individual dermatologist, and not the hospital. We do not accept indefinite referrals.

GENERAL REFERRALS
Referrals can be emailed, faxed, posted, or given to the patient to bring on the day of their appointment.
