Professional Websites for Dermatologists
Want to build a practice around the work you love? Your website is where you showcase your expertise, attract patients who need your specific skills, and become known for what you do best.
Learn how to build your ideal practiceWhy Dermatologists Need a Professional Website
A well-designed website is essential for modern dermatologists to attract patients, build trust, and grow their practice.
Separate Medical and Cosmetic Pathways
Medical dermatology requires GP referral for Medicare rebates; cosmetic procedures are direct access with no rebates. Your website needs clear pathways for both patient types to reduce confusion.
Help GPs Refer Appropriately
GPs perform many skin checks themselves and need to know when to refer to a dermatologist. Clear communication about your scope (skin cancer, inflammatory conditions, paediatric dermatology) helps appropriate referrals.
Manage Wait Time Expectations
With dermatology wait times often months long, clear communication about availability for urgent vs routine cases helps patients and GPs understand your triage process.
Cosmetic AHPRA Compliance
Cosmetic procedure advertising has strict AHPRA guidelines around before/after images and outcome claims. We ensure your website showcases your work while remaining fully compliant.
Visual Excellence Expected
As a visual specialty—especially for cosmetic services—patients expect a polished, aesthetically pleasing website that reflects the quality of your work.
Challenges Dermatologists Face Online
We understand the unique challenges that dermatologists face when building their online presence.
Separating Medical and Cosmetic Services
Medical dermatology requires GP referral for Medicare rebates; cosmetic procedures don't. Your website needs clear pathways for both, with different booking processes and fee structures for each.
Long Wait Times for Medical Appointments
Public hospital dermatology waits can exceed 12 months. Private dermatologists often have months-long waits too. Clear communication about availability, triage for urgent cases, and what constitutes "urgent" is essential.
AHPRA Cosmetic Advertising Restrictions
Before/after photos, testimonials, and outcome claims for cosmetic procedures have strict AHPRA guidelines. Your website must be compliant while still effectively showcasing your cosmetic expertise.
Skin Cancer Check Referral Confusion
GPs increasingly perform skin checks and minor procedures themselves. Patients and GPs are often confused about when dermatologist involvement is needed. Communicate your role in complex, uncertain, or high-risk cases.
