Most skin cancer clinics offer bulk-billed skin checks for Medicare card holders — $0 out-of-pocket. A specialist dermatologist consultation (if referred by GP) costs $250-$450 with a Medicare rebate of $80-$150. Skin Cancer Doctors, Spot Check Clinic and similar national chains bulk-bill general skin checks at most locations. Dermatology specialist skin checks for high-risk patients (history of melanoma, atypical mole syndrome) include dermoscopy and computer-assisted mole mapping.

Yes — you need a GP referral to claim Medicare rebates on dermatologist consultations. Without a referral, you can still see a dermatologist privately but pay full fee with no rebate ($350-$600 instead of $80-$150 out-of-pocket). Skin cancer clinics (separate from dermatology clinics) generally don't require referrals and can bulk-bill general checks. Cosmetic-only consultations with cosmetic doctors don't require GP referral, though following 2023 reforms a referral is now required for cosmetic surgery.

Roaccutane (now sold as Oratane and other generics) is highly effective for severe nodulocystic acne — about 80% of patients have lasting clearance after one course. It requires dermatologist prescription due to side effects: dry skin/lips (universal), elevated liver enzymes, severe birth defects (women must use contraception), and rare mood changes. Cost: $250-$500/month for 4-6 months. Strict pregnancy prevention rules apply for women including monthly pregnancy tests.
