Melanoma Service
Health professional information
Clinical service overview
We provide comprehensive assessment by all the specialties involved in the treatment of melanoma - dermatology, pathology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, general surgery, plastic surgery and psychology.
The Victorian Melanoma Service at The Alfred is an outpatient service run by Dermatology for patients with biopsy proven melanoma (primary or metastatic).
We run an outpatient Melanoma Clinic every Wednesday (except public Holidays) from 8.30am to 1.30pm at The Alfred.
Refer your patient
We accept GP and specialist referrals to this service.
All referrals are triaged by the service according to clinical urgency. Patients requiring immediate assessment should be sent to the Emergency & Trauma Centre.
To ensure appropriate and timely triage, include all demographic and clinical details as well as relevant investigation results.
Melanomas should be biopsy-proven prior to referral where possible. Some lesions are difficult to biopsy (e.g. nails) and may be referred without prior biopsy.
Doctors must email or fax referral letters to us. After we receive a referral, we contact the patient to indicate the time of the initial appointment, with urgent cases always prioritised.
Referrals can be sent to:
