Aesthetic Training Courses for Doctors

Our aesthetic training courses are exclusively for registered health practitioners who meet the eligibility criteria under the AHPRA guidelines for non-surgical cosmetic procedures. This includes medical doctors, dentists, registered nurses (RNs), and enrolled nurses (ENs) with the required post-registration experience. Proof of current registration with the relevant national board is required as part of the enrolment process.

Once you have successfully completed the course, you will need to arrange your own cosmetic indemnity insurance before practising independently. We provide all delegates with details of reputable insurers who offer cover for registered health practitioners in aesthetic medicine.

The demand for aesthetic treatments continues to grow, creating strong opportunities for trained cosmetic doctors. Many work in established cosmetic clinics on a full-time or part-time basis, while others open their own aesthetic practices. You can integrate aesthetic medicine alongside your existing healthcare career or transition into it full-time. Our courses include business and marketing guidance to help you establish yourself in the industry, with ongoing advice and support available from our team.
