At Inside Out Dermatology we offer an additional service of MoleMap. For more information contact our staff on 9005 5520 or see below.
Steps to getting your moles mapped:
- Our lovely Melanographer, Celine, who is an Registered Nurse, has been trained by the Australiasian College of Dermatologists to become a trained melanographer. This means she can map out your moles, take photographs with specialised cameras and then send the images to our broader team of Dermatologists. These dermatologist including Dr Sharma, are trained to review the photos, and determine if they are skin cancer or just benign moles
- You are then given a report and if there is a potential for melanoma, Celine can expedite your review with Dr Sharma. This means you do not have to wait 3 months to see Dr Sharma as Celine has the authority to get in you in earlier.

We realise that for some individuals the cost or time to wait for Dr Sharma is not suitable and hence Molemap bridges that gap. It doesn’t mean you are comprising on your skin checks but rather enhancing it given that you are seen so much faster.
Our melanographer will immediately book you in urgently with Dr Sharma, Dermatologist for a review. However you will still require a referral from your GP to get the additional medicare rebates
No you do not get any rebates back given that this service is not conducted by a doctor
Speak to your health insurance companies as some companies are offering some rebates for their members. We do not have all this information and its best that you speak to your insurance company prior to booking in with us.
