Skin, Allergy & Sensory Health

Skin, allergy and sensory health covers conditions affecting your skin, airways, eyes and ears. These often travel together: eczema, asthma and hay fever frequently appear in the same person, and a symptom in one area can be linked to another. A practitioner who looks at the whole picture can help.

​

This hub brings together practitioners working across allergies, asthma, dermatology, eye health and hearing. Whether you are managing a long-standing skin condition, looking for the trigger for recurring reactions or noticing changes in your vision or hearing, your GP is a good first step. You can browse practitioners listed on Health Hunter below, see their locations and request an appointment.

What is a
Skin & Allergy Practitioner

Many different practitioners help with skin, allergy, eye and hearing concerns. Your GP is usually the first step and can treat many common problems or refer you on. Dermatologists specialise in skin, hair and nails. Clinical immunologists and allergists diagnose and manage allergies. Respiratory physicians help with harder-to-control asthma. Optometrists check your eyes, and ophthalmologists are medical eye specialists. Audiologists test hearing, and ENT surgeons treat ear and sinus problems. Medical specialists need a GP referral for a Medicare rebate.

Getting Help With Skin and Allergies

Skin Conditions

A GP can treat many skin problems, such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, hives and infections, or refer you to a dermatologist. Skin checks matter in Australia, so see your GP about any new or changing spot.
Health Hunter

Finding Allergy Triggers

Health Hunter
Finding what triggers a reaction is the first step in managing an allergy. A GP or allergy specialist can arrange skin prick or blood tests, explain your results and help you plan how to avoid your triggers.

Asthma and Airways

Health Hunter
Asthma and hay fever often occur together, and treating one can help the other. A GP can confirm the diagnosis, check your inhaler technique, write an asthma action plan and refer you to a specialist if needed.

Eyes and Hearing

Health Hunter
Changes in vision or hearing can come on slowly. An optometrist can check your eyes, and an audiologist can test your hearing. Sudden vision loss, a painful red eye or sudden hearing loss needs urgent medical attention.

Severe Allergic Reactions

Health Hunter
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can affect breathing, so call 000 straight away. A GP or allergy specialist can prescribe an adrenaline injector for people at risk and write an ASCIA action plan.

Itch and Wellbeing

Health Hunter
Itchy or visible skin conditions can disrupt sleep and affect confidence and mood. A GP can help with a skin care routine and treatment plan, and a psychologist can help if your skin is affecting your wellbeing.

FAQs

How do I find a skin or allergy practitioner near me?

You can browse practitioners listed on Health Hunter on this page, including those who help with skin, allergies, asthma, eyes and hearing. Search by location, check whether they offer telehealth, and request an appointment. If you are not sure who to see, your GP is a good first step.

When is an allergic reaction an emergency?

A severe allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis, is a medical emergency. Signs include difficulty breathing, swelling of the tongue, tightness in the throat, wheeze or persistent cough, trouble talking, and dizziness or collapse. Young children may become pale and floppy. Use an adrenaline injector if one has been prescribed, and call 000 straight away.

Can a GP do allergy testing?

A GP can assess your symptoms and order some allergy blood tests. For skin prick testing, food allergies or more complex allergies, they may refer you to a clinical immunologist or allergist. A GP can also help you manage hay fever and eczema, and write an allergy or asthma action plan.

Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?

Yes, to claim a Medicare rebate you need a referral from your GP. Some dermatologists will see you without one, but you will not get the Medicare rebate. Your GP can also treat many common skin conditions and check spots, so they are a good place to start.
