Our Legacy
On the 1st of April 1996, six dermatologists in Queensland established the Foundation with the hope of formalising training for registrars in a private practice setting.
​
Located at Greenslopes Private Hospital, the formation of the Institute allowed better access for veteran and war widow outpatients to see dermatologists.
​
Based on the structure of the New South Wales and Victoria Skin and Cancer Foundations, The Queensland Institute of Dermatology was the first of its kind in Queensland.
​
Our, now twelve, dedicated dermatologists continually strive to provide excellence in services for patients, and their hard work and commitment to achieving the goals of the Institute, allows us to continue this legacy for years to come.
Community Focus
The Queensland Institute of Dermatology is dedicated to providing excellence in dermatology services to our community. As a not-for-profit organisation, patients who come to our clinic are helping ensure that our registrars, honorary registrars and medical students experience clinical care in a facilitated environment.
​
The services that we provide to patients are continually evolving inline with best practice guidelines, and the range of services continue to grow based on patient needs. With twelve dermatologists providing their time outside of their normal private practice, the Institute is in the best position to capture a full range of services with such broad dermatology sub-specialties.
​
The support of our Queensland Community allows The Queensland Institute of Dermatology to achieve their goals.
