Assoc. Prof. McCormack is the founding Dermatologist of Caulfield Dermatology and the lead Dermatologist within our practice. He firmly believes that Dermatologists are in a unique position of having an excellent overall grasp of skin health and disease, and are the physicians who are best placed to manage cutaneous diseases and cancers. He is passionate about delivering personalised healthcare in a caring and efficient manner, and he operates on the principle that understanding a patient’s individual needs is the paramount goal in providing a professional, balanced service. To this end, he ensures that the expert colleagues, nursing staff and support staff that he recruits into the Caulfield clinic all share his vision for providing an unsurpassed, premier dermatology service.
Assoc. Prof. McCormack has over 25 years of experience in the field of Dermatology. After graduating from Monash University Medical School in 1986, he worked for two years at The Alfred before embarking on a career in the RAAF. He gained his fellowship from the Australasian College of Dermatology in 1996 and was awarded the prize for obtaining the highest mark in the fellowship exams.
In 1998, Assoc. Prof. McCormack started the dermatology service at Australia’s leading cancer hospital, the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (PMCC), and is now their Chief Dermatologist. At the same time, he began running the cutaneous lymphoma service at St Vincent’s hospital in conjunction with the PMCC. Assoc. Prof. McCormack is now considered Australia’s leading expert in the field, and has developed the cutaneous lymphoma service into one of the foremost research and clinical units in the world.
Assoc. Prof. McCormack is also an expert in the field of skin cancer, including melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, and has extensive experience in inflammatory dermatoses such as eczema and psoriasis. He has written numerous papers in peer-reviewed journals has been involved in multiple research projects in each of these fields. As a result of this work, he is frequently an invited speaker at both Australian and international dermatology meetings. The Caulfield dermatology service was started by Assoc.
