Dr. Charmaine Chamberlin is an internationally trained dermatologist undergoing the specialist pathway with the Australasian College of Dermatologists.

Charmaine finished a Bachelor of Nursing then took up a Doctor of Medicine postgraduate degree at The University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines, graduating with distinction in 2014. She completed her specialist training and was fully qualified as a dermatologist by the Philippine Dermatological Society in 2020.

After practicing for a few years, she moved to Australia to further subspecialize in the field of oncodermatology and complex medical dermatology at Westmead Hospital in Western Sydney. This was then complemented by a second fellowship on pigmented skin lesions, non-invasive skin imaging, and confocal microscopy at the Melanoma Institute Australia. As both institutions are affiliated with the University of Sydney, Charmaine was able to participate in research projects for melanoma, skin imaging, confocal microscopy, artificial intelligence, and the skin effects of cancer treatment. She also engages in teaching activities for medical students, junior doctors, and other specialties interested in skin. However, she gains the most joy from clinical practice and interacting with patients.

Charmaine moved to Ballarat in June 2024 after completing her fellowships and will commence supervised practice alongside Dr. Alana Tuxen at Gentle Dermatology in February 2025. She will be holding a paediatric dermatology clinic on Monday mornings but accepts all general dermatology referrals.
