Ahpra has released Visual examples of higher risk non-surgical cosmetic procedure advertising (a sample of which is below).

"Guidelines for advertising higher risk non-surgical cosmetic procedures (the guidelines) came into effect from 2 September 2025.
Ahpra and the National Boards have developed these visual examples to help advertisers comply with the guidelines.

These examples should not be relied on as a description of all the advertising requirements and should be read with the guidelines.

Examples of higher risk non-surgical cosmetic procedures include but are not limited to dental veneers, cosmetic injectables, injection lipolysis, thread lifts, sclerotherapy, micro sclerotherapy, procedures using platelet rich plasma, biotherapy or injections of any products derived from the patient’s blood and hair transplants.

The guidelines were developed to address the unique features of non-surgical cosmetic procedures that are not found in other areas of health practice and the specific risks involved in the advertising of higher risk non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

All advertising is also required to comply with the advertising requirements under the National Law and the Guidelines for advertising a regulated health service."

The full PDF document can be found at ahpra.gov.au or asaps.org.au under the Resources tab.

We've designed the sessions this year to be really practical, covering things that we deal with every day.

We're looking at managing difficult patient interactions whilst maintaining and keeping good boundaries, spotting red flags early and triaging patients' concerns so nothing important gets missed.

We'll also talk about reducing the chance of readmission and giving the patients the best outcome from the very beginning. We'll also look at risk management and also how to manage scars pre-operatively and post-operatively.

I'm so excited to learn, share and connect with other plastics and aesthetic nurses.

Can't wait to see you there in Sydney!

Highlights of the Nursing & Practice Management streams includes:
Professional Development Session
Collaboration Teams Session
Risk Mitigation Session
Clinical Assessment Session
Modernising the Practice - Solutions, Systems & Scalability Session
Specialist Sessions & Q&A with Specialist Plastic Surgeons and Nurse Practitioner
People, Performance & Practice Culture Session - Teams that Drive Growth
Strategic Growth & the Clinic of the Future Session
