About this episode
Regulations for injectors and cosmetic clinics in Australia are changing so fast that some topics in this episode were overtaken by new guidelines released on 7 March 2024, so we are tackling the changes in more than one part.
In Part 1 we explain the background to why these changes are happening and hear from two of the colleges that represent most injectors: Jessica Maggs of the Cosmetic Nurses Association and Dr David Kosenko of the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia.
We cover what the CPCA and CNA do, AHPRA and the TGA, the timeline of recent rule changes, the advertising terms controversy, whether the changes improve safety, data and enforcement, how regulators see aesthetics, nurse practitioner barriers, the need for formal training, advertising and before and after photos, prescribing loopholes, scripting companies, and the case for an aesthetic alliance.
