About this episode

Maria Reid is a registered nurse with a Masters in Clinical Leadership and co-owner of Eden Clinic in Hobart.

In this short bonus episode we discuss significant regulatory changes for cosmetic clinics in Tasmania. In 2021 Maria attended a Tasmanian Department of Health forum announcing that clinics without a prescribing doctor on site would need to apply to become a licensed facility, similar to a day surgery.

Maria shares the background, what licensing requires, facility and emergency standards, where to find the frameworks, getting policies in place, working with regulators, and how she completed the process for her own clinic, with a warning that change is almost certainly coming for the rest of the country.
