The Australasian Society of Cosmetic Dermatologists (ASCD) is a business unit providing education and training activities under the Cosmetic Dermatologists Education Inc, with individual affiliation (members are known as Affiliates) open to all Australian and New Zealand dermatologists and dermatology trainees.

The ASCD is governed by a subcommittee of the CDE Board, chaired by Professor Greg Goodman.
