The Australasian College of Dermatologists evolved from two organisations – the British Association of Dermatology and the Dermatological Association of Australia – which were formed in the 1920s and 1940s respectively. As these organisations began to discuss the formation of a College in the early 1960s, they were joined by the New Zealand Dermatological Society. On 19 November 1966 the first meeting of the interim council of the Australasian College of Dermatologists was held with John Belisario as President. It Started from Scratch takes up the story of the College from that point. The publication, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the College, charts five distinct periods of development in the College’s history.
