We collated data on the numbers of clinicians and clinical full\u2010time equivalents (FTE), Medicare\u2010reported skin cancer services and melanoma incidence. We quantified health workforce supply and clinical workload, clinical FTE per 100,000 population, number of Medicare claims for skin cancer services per clinical FTE and incident cases of melanoma per clinical FTE for all of Queensland and across 19 Level 4 Statistical Areas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Queensland had 7179 GPs (852 adjusted FTE) and 124 (71 adjusted FTE) dermatologists servicing 5,527,369 residents, with an estimated 17 FTE skin cancer clinicians per 100,000 population. Ten (53%) SA4 areas had no dermatologists, with none residing in central or western Queensland. Seven of the nine SA4 levels with dermatologists were in southeast Queensland (78%), and 47% of all FTE dermatologists practised in Brisbane Inner City. GPs were well distributed relative to population size.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Access to dermatology services is limited for Queensland residents living outside the southeast region, with few providers available within reasonable proximity. GPs are managing a growing skin cancer workload in Queensland.
