Can't find all the information you are looking for online?
In 2024 advertising for Surgical and Non – Surgical Cosmetic Treatments came under review and changed the way we are able to advertise and deliver information to consumers. The guidelines that have been set are strict and finite. The detailed list of “no longer allowed” is why you are probably seeing less adds, hearing less adds and hitting brick walls searching for treatments and prices.
We aim to provide our customers with all the information that is needed to make informed choices on what services best suites them, even though the delivery methods have changed. Below is more information in regards to the governing bodies and relevant new rules.
The governing Bodies –
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) is our government agency who regulate Australia’s registered health practitioners.
The Medical Board of Australia (National Board), who are a part of Ahpra, is responsible for regulating medical practitioners across Australia, setting standards, and protecting the public by ensuring practitioners meet required standards. They make the decisions in regards to medical registrations and complaints.
The TGA, or Therapeutic Goods Administration, is Australia’s regulatory authority for therapeutic goods, ensuring the safety, quality, and efficacy of medicines, medical devices, and biologicals used in the Australian healthcare system. The TGA regulates the supply, import, export, manufacturing, and advertising of the above.
This may be the reason why you have not been able to find the information you where looking for which was previously accessible. We endeavour to provide as much information and advise that we can however this must now be done in person.
From March 7th 2024 it was clarified that some previously accepted methods of communicating with patients and marketing are now prohibited. There are allot of changes, we will outline some of the major changes that most affect consumers. Our website, clinic and social media will continue to change to stay within current regulations.
