In the video, A/Prof Dicker explains that most practitioners in Australia have medical indemnity insurance covering procedural and non-procedural work.

''Most companies have very different definitions of what they think you should be insured for,'' says A/Prof Dicker.

''Some companies have specific categories for skin cancer doctors and these can be cheaper.''

The most important thing is to ensure you're insured for what you do. A/Prof Dicker recommends writing down the types of procedures you do and asking your insurer ''am I covered for this?'' on an annual basis.

Your indemnity insurance can be adjusted depending on whether you practise full-time in skin cancer or part-time in general practice, and so on.
