Dr Larry Bull - FRACGP - Director
Dr Bull graduated from the University of QLD in 1986 and then spent 3 years at the Toowoomba base hospital before taking up the position of Medical Superintendent of Cherbourg Hospital for 3 years. He then established the Mt Coolum Medical Centre and worked in general practice there for 9 years. Dr Bull had a keen interest in skin procedures during this period. Dr Bull attained the Fellowship of the College of General Practice in 1994.

After selling his practice at Mt Coolum Dr Bull together with Dr Scott Wilmot established SolarDerm Skin Cancer Clinics, which have grown to 5 practices in 5 locations with 10 doctors working for the group.
Then ongoing early detection and treatment of all forms of skin cancer especially possibly life threatening melanoma is the focus of our work at SolarDerm and Dr Bull takes great pride in belonging to the team and the great results that we believe we have achieved so far.
Dr Bull is married and has teenage Children.

Dr Scott Wilmot - Director
Dr Wilmot grew up in Sarina, North Queensland, moving to Brisbane to study medicine at the University of Queensland. Following graduation in 1993, Dr Wilmot commenced his medical career at Nambour General Hospital completing 2 years of work before traveling overseas during most of 1996.

Upon his return, Dr Wilmot was drawn to General Practice, working in Nambour, Cooroy and Gympie, before attaining his Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practice in 2000.

A strong procedural interest led to work in the field of skin cancer medicine, and the establishment of the SolarDerm group with Dr Larry Bull. He enjoys every facet of melanoma and skin cancer work along with the day-to-day management of SolarDerm Clinics, and takes great pride in the level of care being provided to the people of Queensland.

Hours outside work are devoted to family life, the all-to-infrequent game of golf, and with a wife, and three young children, the time is very well spent.

Cath Turner – Practice Nurse.
Originally from WA, I joined the Army at the age of 20 where I spent the next 12 years gaining my Nursing qualifications during this time. Moved to Bundaberg 4 years ago with husband, daughter and son and have been working casual at the Bundaberg Base Hospital. I absolutely love the lifestyle here in Qld, and so glad I moved back. I also have a business with my Husband and also an Internet business making customized polymer stamps for card makers and scrapbookers, which are also my favourite pastimes.

Kerry Home – receptionist
I moved to Bundaberg from Miles, Qld, in 1992, where my husband and I ran a farm machinery business. I worked as a sales assistant selling tiles for 9 months and then attained a position as Medical Receptionist/ Practice Manager for a GP in Bargara, where I worked for 12 years. I attained a Certificate 3 in Business Management at the Bundaberg Tafe, whilst working in Bargara. I then worked on a casual basis for a medical practice in Bundaberg for 8 months, when I thought I might try to retire. But I felt the need to be useful once again so I was delighted when I was chosen to work for Solarderm in Bundaberg, where I commenced in May 2007. I am married and have 3 adult children and 2 grandchildren, with 1 on the way. This keeps me very busy as they live only a couple of streets away.
