General information only

Information provided on the Northern Skin Doctors website is general information only. It is intended to describe our clinic, practitioners and services and to provide general education about skin cancer, skin health, laser treatment and aesthetic medicine.

The information is not personal medical advice and should not be used as a substitute for an individual consultation, physical examination, diagnosis or treatment plan from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Do not delay medical care

Medical information on this website may not apply to your individual circumstances. Do not start, stop or delay medical care because of something you have read on this website.

If you are concerned about a skin lesion, symptom, treatment or other health matter, arrange an appropriate consultation with a qualified health practitioner.

Emergencies and urgent concerns

This website, our email address and our online enquiry and booking systems are not monitored as emergency services.

If you or someone with you is experiencing a medical emergency, call 000 immediately or attend the nearest emergency department.

Do not rely on a website form, email, social-media message or online booking request for urgent medical assistance.

No diagnosis through the website

Viewing this website, submitting an enquiry or making an appointment request does not provide a diagnosis and does not, by itself, establish a practitioner–patient relationship.

Clinical advice can only be provided after a practitioner has obtained sufficient information and undertaken an appropriate individual assessment.

Treatment suitability, risks and outcomes

Information about a treatment, procedure, device or technology does not mean that it is suitable for every person.

Suitability, risks, alternatives, likely benefits, recovery, costs and expected outcomes must be considered individually during an appropriate consultation.

All medical, surgical, laser and aesthetic treatments involve potential risks. Individual responses and clinical outcomes vary. No treatment result can be guaranteed.

Photographs, illustrations, case descriptions and other examples provided on the website are for general educational purposes and do not represent or guarantee the outcome another person may experience.

Skin cancer information

Information about the appearance, symptoms or characteristics of skin cancer cannot replace an examination by a suitably qualified practitioner.

Skin cancers and other skin conditions can vary considerably in appearance. Images or written descriptions should not be used to diagnose or exclude skin cancer.

If you notice a new, changing, bleeding, painful or otherwise concerning skin lesion, arrange an appropriate medical assessment.

Accuracy and currency

Northern Skin Doctors takes reasonable care when preparing website information. However, medical knowledge, clinical recommendations, available services, practitioner availability, fees and technology may change.

We do not guarantee that all website information will always be complete, current or applicable to every person. Contact the clinic or your treating practitioner if you require clarification about your individual care.

Independent practitioners

Doctors and other health practitioners who consult at Northern Skin Doctors as tenants are independent practitioners and operate under their own ABNs. Each practitioner exercises independent clinical judgement and is responsible for the professional healthcare services they personally provide.

Northern Skin Doctors provides consulting facilities, equipment and administrative support, which may include appointment scheduling and billing services. Practitioner fees, availability and individual policies may vary.

Nothing in this disclaimer limits the professional duties or legal responsibilities of a practitioner providing clinical care.

External information and links

The website may contain links to external websites, booking platforms or health-information resources.

These services and websites are operated independently. Northern Skin Doctors is not responsible for the accuracy, availability, security or privacy practices of third-party websites. A link does not necessarily constitute endorsement of all information, products or services provided by that third party.

Your legal rights

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes, restricts or modifies any right, consumer guarantee or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable Australian law.
