Improving access to specialist dermatology care in rural, regional and remote communities is one of our key priorities.

That’s why we implemented a supervisory rotational model project funded by the Commonwealth Government through the Flexible Approach to Training in Expanded Settings Program.

This project has grown the dermatologist workforce in the Northern Territory by building capacity, quality, and sustainability of specialist dermatology training.

We look forward to ongoing collaboration with governments, health services and community stakeholders to improve skin health outcomes for all Australians.
