Cosmetic Device Governance Policy & Procedure (All Energy-Based Devices)

At Newcastle Cosmetic Doctor, every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation — not just because it’s good practice, but because it’s the law. Under AHPRA’s 2025 Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedure Guidelines, a proper consult ensures that: A registered medical practitioner personally assesses every patient before any cosmetic or energy-based treatment. The consultation provides time for a thorough medical history, risk assessment, and discussion of alternatives — before any decision is made. Informed consent is obtained in writing, with full understanding of expected outcomes, potential complications, cooling-off periods, and aftercare. Patients are never pressured into a treatment on the same day, and have time to reflect. The practitioner and patient co-create a treatment plan that’s ethical, transparent, and based on safety and evidence — not sales. This consultation-first approach is the foundation of our entire clinic governance system. It’s how we protect our patients, maintain professional integrity, and align with the standards of AHPRA, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and NSW Health. ⚡ Why We Have a Device Governance Policy Energy-based cosmetic devices — including lasers, radiofrequency, IPL/BBL, HIFU, ultrasound, LED phototherapy, and cryolipolysis — can produce powerful biological effects. Our Cosmetic Device Governance Policy & Procedure (All Energy-Based Devices) ensures that every system used at Newcastle Cosmetic Doctor is: Legally supplied and TGA-compliant, with ARTG verification and safety documentation. Operated only by credentialed practitioners trained in laser and energy-based safety under Australian Standards (AS/NZS 4173; ARPANSA; ISO 14971). Supported by strict infection control, maintenance, and calibration protocols. Audited regularly through our NSQHS clinical governance framework for accuracy, patient protection, and emergency readiness. This policy brings together all device-safety frameworks into one unified structure — blending national and international standards so that every procedure, from laser resurfacing to HIFU skin tightening, is performed with maximum precision and minimum risk. 🩺 Our Commitment Our policies and procedures are written not just to comply with regulation, but to set new benchmarks for transparency and patient safety in cosmetic medicine. By publishing them publicly, we aim to raise awareness, improve industry standards, and give patients the confidence that every treatment is grounded in evidence-based governance.
