{Abstract}: Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer globally. Early detection and treatment of skin cancer is critical for positive patient outcomes. General practitioners (GPs) play a central role in skin cancer management in Australia.<BR>Collaboration between GPs and pathologists can improve the accuracy of skin cancer diagnosis. However, for improvement to occur, clear communication and high-quality specimens are essential.<BR>Inadequate clinical information and suboptimal biopsy specimens can hinder diagnosis. Improved communication, targeted training and selecting appropriate biopsy techniques are essential. A collaborative approach, guided by recommended techniques and clear guidelines, can minimise errors and improve patient outcomes in Australia's GP-led skin cancer management system.
