About Our Practice

The Centre for Vulvovaginal Health and Northern Paediatric Dermatology is a unique private dermatology practice devoted to the needs of women with vulval disorders and paediatric dermatology. Our aim is to provide the best possible care in terms of diagnosis and effective management.

We also aim to lead the field of vulval disease with ongoing research affiliated with The University of Sydney. All of our patients are asked whether they would like to contribute to research and the majority agree. This helps us to offer cutting edge management and education to the medical community.

Prof Fischer and Dr Wain are qualified dermatologists and are both Fellows of the Australasian College of Dermatologists. Both work in the private and public sectors in the fields of vulval disease and paediatric dermatology.
