These are separate clinics which do not share records. To avoid having records split between the two, patients can register at either location, but cannot alternate between the two.
Skin cancer
Australia has the highest skin cancer rate in the world, with two out of three Australians being diagnosed with skin cancer during their lifetime.
Skin cancer is always easier to treat when found earlier. There are three types of appointment you can make for a skin cancer check:
Full skin checks
A dedicated 30 minute appointment, where you will be examined from head-to-toe
Suitable for checking the whole body, or >3 spots
For the highest-quality full body skin check, do not wear any makeup, moisturiser or sunscreen prior to your appointment
Spot checks
A standard 10 minute appointment
Suitable for checking up to 3 spots
If you were asked to come back for a ‘safety check’ of a particular spot, book this appointment
If we have no availability online, please call the clinic to enquire
Total body photography (mole mapping)
A dedicated 30 minute appointment with specially trained nurses
Involved a series of high-resolution, clinical photos being taken
Useful for high risk patients, and those with large numbers (>100) of spots
Service list
We provide a range of diagnostic, screening, advanced imaging and treatment options, including surgical and non-surgical. These include:
Full body skin checks
Spot checks
Dermatoscopy
Topical chemotherapy
Cryotherapy
Electro-cautery
Skin biopsy
Skin excisions for suspicious or proven skin cancers
We aim to work with your usual GP and provide them with clinical updates/handovers. We can also refer patients to skin cancer surgeons, specialist dermatologist or cosmetic doctors as required.

Social media and email policy
Dr Sheridan is unable to communicate with patients via email. Clinical information and requests can be sent to his clinics only by prior arrangement. Clinic email accounts may be only sporadically monitored by reception staff.
In line with professional standards, Dr Sheridan does not communicate with patients through social media. He will respectfully decline any invitations to connect on these platforms.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) notetaking
Dr Sheridan’s clinics sometimes use AI notetaking. These programs do not store information online; they generate a text-entry for the clinics’ usual record keeping software.
Further information on AI notetaking can be requested from the clinics. You can also raise any concerns at the start of your appointment and the software can be disabled for your visit.
Masks and infection control
Unfortunately, doctors are unable to work while sick, and coughs, colds and sinus infections are highly transmissible. For this reason, Dr Sheridan only sees patients who are wearing masks (at least until it is established whether it is safe for you to take it off). If this is an issue, reception will be happy to rebook your appointment as a telehealth, or with another doctor.
DVA and workers compensation patients
Veterans are welcome to see Dr Sheridan, but please note that he is unable to accept Gold or White DVA cards for payment. Veterans will need to pay all accounts at the time of their appointment, but may send their receipts to DVA for any applicable rebates.
Workers’ compensation patients also need to pay their fees at the time of their appointment. They may send their receipts to their insurer for any applicable reimbursement. Workers’ compensation fees are sometimes quite high ($200-500). Other, non-workers’ compensation-related issues cannot be covered in a workers’ compensation appointment, and must be booked as a separate appointment.
