Attention | Ahpra Non-surgical cosmetic procedure guidelines now in effect!

Please be aware that the following guidelines published by Ahpra and National Boards are now in effect (from 2 September 2025):

• Guidelines for advertising higher risk non-surgical cosmetic procedures (advertising guidelines)
• Guidelines for registered health practitioners who perform non-surgical cosmetic procedures (shared practice guidelines) (do not apply to medical practitioners).

Note – the shared practice guidelines do not apply to medical practitioners, but they establish similar obligations for all other registered health professionals as those required of medical practitioners.

The advance copy of the guidelines have been updated with the commencement date. The guidelines and the supporting resources are published on the Cosmetic surgery hotline and hub page on the Ahpra website.
