Petition to support nurse injectors I am deeply concerned about the potential impact of the newly issued Medicines and Poisons Act 2019 (December 2024) on nurse injectors working within the beauty treatment/cosmetic industry. These professionals, predominantly female nurses, bring vital medical expertise and clinical judgment to aesthetic procedures, ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes. It's crucial that this legislation recognizes and supports the specialized skills and training of nurse injectors. We need to acknowledge the rigorous training and qualifications of registered nurses: Their medical & aesthetic background is essential for handling potential complications and ensuring patient well-being. Highly trained nurses injectors always prioritize patient safety while avoiding unnecessary restrictions: Overly restrictive regulations could limit access to safe and effective cosmetic procedures, potentially driving patients to less regulated environments. You should instead provide clear pathways for nurse injectors to continue their professional development: Ensuring they stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in aesthetic medicine. Can we please ensure that the regulations do not unfairly disadvantage female professionals: The legislation must be equitable and support the continued contribution of women in this specialized healthcare field. I urge the relevant authorities to engage in thorough consultation with nurse injectors and professional nursing organizations to ensure this legislation effectively balances patient safety with the continued provision of safe and accessible cosmetic treatments. Finally there are not enough doctors or nurse practitioners to take on board what is now required to be an independent registered nurse injector.

Nurse Led clinics need to be allowed! We participate in the correct training to be able to operate effectively! Stop this hierarchy of Drs vs Nurses ! It is completely different. If a prescribing Dr is authorising the use of an S4 medication there is no issue? It’s the same within all Queensland health hospital services so why can’t nurse led clinics be the same and have the same operations

I’m signing because these changes would not only threaten the livelihood of nurse-led clinics but also reduce access to safe and affordable care, particularly in rural and regional areas. This policy would create unnecessary barriers for women-led businesses and compromise patient safety by potentially pushing people towards unsafe, unregulated alternatives.

This shouldn’t be happening. Nurses always give injections in the hospital setting. Why change it??? Nurses teach most doctors to inject!

These changes will effectively put hundreds of clinics on the chopping board, thousands of jobs will be lost, millions of dollars taken out of our economy and completely shatter the lives of families who have put every thing they have in supporting businesses growth and development. Not to mention making this industry run only by people who will be 100% doing the wrong thing by patients. This is a recipe for disaster both for business and for consumers.

This is ridiculous nurses have had more then enough training increasing the prices and adding a dr to be on site is silly, there is nothing wrong with Skyping the dr to gain clearance to go ahead. I think leave it the way it is. It’s quick simple, save and effective the way it is
