About this episode
Dr Pouria Moradi and Sheri-lee Knoop share their insights into the new Australian cosmetic regulations announced by AHPRA, which affect both surgeons and non-surgical practitioners and come into force on 1 July 2023.
For years cosmetic stakeholders have argued over who has the right to treat patients, who can offer which procedures, and the standards expected of practitioners. Last year's inquiry into cosmetic surgery led to a full review of all cosmetic procedures, culminating in sweeping new rules. Many in the industry are confused and unhappy, arguing the changes won't improve patient safety while significantly affecting livelihoods.
We cover why the regulations are happening, referral and consultation changes, regional and overseas patients, consent and payment requirements, advertising and social media restrictions, scope of practice for nurses, high-risk areas, training and supervision, BDD screening, legal risks and next steps for the industry.
