Andrew J. Colebatch is a Dermatologist based in Melbourne, working from 305 Grattan Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000, Australia. His work mainly centres on skin checks and helping people with skin problems that need a careful look and steady follow-up. Skin can change for lots of reasons, and sometimes the changes look small but still need proper assessment.
Andrew treats a range of skin conditions. This includes melanoma and other serious moles and skin cancers, like basal cell skin cancer. He also looks after people with unusual mole patterns and inherited conditions, such as Familial Atypical Multiple Mole Melanoma Syndrome. In some cases, he helps families manage things like giant congenital melanocytic naevi and other rare birth-related skin conditions. Over time, he focuses on spotting early signs, planning safe monitoring, and supporting people through decisions about treatment.
There are also less common conditions that can show up in the skin and need specialist care. Andrew’s clinic is set up for referrals and ongoing management for problems such as Merkel cell carcinoma and uveal melanoma, along with rarer conditions like Tieche-Jadassohn naevus. He also cares for people with conditions that can involve the skin and other parts of the body, including Erdheim-Chester disease and neuroendocrine tumours. At times, this work involves working alongside other specialists so care is coordinated and not all left to one place.
In terms of experience, Andrew has day-to-day clinical experience in dermatology, with an emphasis on skin cancer assessment and monitoring. He keeps things practical and clear, and he knows that people can feel worried when a skin finding is found. His training is in dermatology, and he uses that knowledge to guide patients through what the findings could mean and what the next steps are.
Research and clinical trials aren’t listed here in detail, so it’s not something that’s stated as a main focus. Still, good dermatology care does rely on up-to-date evidence, and Andrew aims to keep management aligned with current best practice.
