Our History
While working at an established Radiation Oncology practice on the Sunshine Coast, Colin Dicks and Martin Noller casually commented on the need for specialised treatment for skin cancer patients. With no more than a clinic name and a concept, they set out to establish the first SXRT clinic on the coast. The doors opened in Maroochydore in March 2016.
Built on the hard work and talent of our staff, the first clinic was successful and Just Skin SXRT in now also available in Noosa, Gympie and Toowoomba.
They believe that when it comes to skin cancer treatment, SXRT should be part of every conversation.

Our Vision
As a radiation practice, we have to take our work seriously but that does not stop us having fun an enjoying what we do. We are different on purpose. Our goal is to make the treatment process as non-medical as possible, while providing the highest level of medical care.
We believe that there should not be a skin cancer conversation, without SXRT being part of that conversation.
