Safeguarding Patients - the CPCA supports
the new 'Professional Performance Framework'
An article featuring CPCA's President, Dr Douglas Grose, on Clinical Aesthetics Magazine.
"Dr Grose said that the CPCA encourages other professional Colleges to follow their lead and mandate that doctors must spend time with other similarly qualified doctors, both being observed and observing others, in the work place to ensure that members who are not performing to the standard are detected early by their peers."

While there is always the risk vs reward factor to consider with any procedure, the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia (CPCA) has outlined some important guidelines for anyone considering a cosmetic procedure, to ensure they receive the best possible treatment, not only in terms of results, but also health and safety.

The Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia (CPCA) is deeply saddened by the tragic incident that recently occurred at the Medi Beauty Clinic in Chippendale, NSW, and said it has for many years now, been calling for stronger regulations for a range of cosmetic medicine treatments.
The CPCA said it welcomed last week’s announcement that the NSW government will review regulations for beauty clinics but has written to the Minister for Health to request that all aspects of cosmetic medicine form part of the review, so patients can rest assured they are being treated by an appropriately trained and insured expert, operating within a national uniform regulatory environment.

The Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia (CPCA) welcomes the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s (TGA’s) decision to publish directions for health professionals and beauty clinics regarding the advertising of cosmetic services using Schedule 4 (prescription-only) substances, such as botulinum toxin, and the fines that apply for breaching guidelines of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.
The TGA’s advice serves as a timely reminder that it is an offence for a person to publish or broadcast an advertisement about such therapeutic goods, with the offence attracting a maximum penalty of $10,800 for an individual and $54,000 for a body corporate.
