Nurse-led cosmetic clinics’ authority to obtain and possess stock of cosmetic medicines

All the beautiful nurses that are doing a great job in what they’re doing should not have to do this. It’s ridiculous…

I am signing this petition because I am deeply concerned about Queensland Health's recent law interpretation, which threatens nurse-led clinics and patient access to affordable cosmetic treatments. If enforced, requiring a doctor's onsite presence for obtaining and stocking cosmetic medicine will significantly impact patient care. This could increase costs, reduce treatment options, and limit accessibility, particularly in rural areas. Nurse-led clinics serve over 250,000 Queensland patients and are crucially important to female entrepreneurship, with many women-led businesses potentially affected. These changes could drive patients to illegal operators, compromising safety. As a supporter of accessible healthcare and safety, I urge the House to find a regulatory solution that supports both patient safety and the success of nurse-led clinics.

I do NOT second this at all

keep small business up and going

Nurses are more than capable to administer injections as is, no need to tighten industry regulations any further.

Very confident in her

Nurses are taking steps to provide high level safe care. If a nurse can’t do this why should a doctor be able to we do the same training for cosmetic injectables. Some of the best cosmetic practices are nurse led and that should be applauded

keep nurse led clinics!!!!!!!!!

I believe this to be very unfair to the very qualified nurses that have been in hospitals working along side doctors for most of the working careers prior to choosing to start there own fabulous clinics that are safe and clean

I have spent 7 years building my business and successfully giving people confidence. As a single parent and this is my life. It would be life altering to me, my son and my families life

Regulate manufacturers or who the nurses purchase from problem solved and everyone is happy. The chemists have enough to deal with already.

This needs to change ! I do not support this ! Nurses do not need a doctors presence

Rural clinics serving the Qld public already have stocks of different scheduled drugs without a doctor being continuously present.

Nurses are just as safe if not more safe

This proposal would cripple many nurse led businesses in the aesthetics industry. These nurse led clinics are safe places for people wanting aesthetic treatments. With non medical people currently obtaining access to unorthorised medicine off the internet this will see more people with adverse outcomes. Please don’t implement this nonsense proposal punishing the hard working nurses who provide fantastic aesthetic care and treatments

This would not only decimate the industry that we have worked so hard to build. But it would force consumers to potentially seek their treatments from unregulated providers.

Telehealth is a perfectly valid means of receiving healthcare. If patients can access drs via telephone consult WITHOUT video conferencing being a requirement, a *video consult* with a dr while under the direct care of a registered nurse in a regulated clinic is perfectly safe. Having a permanent dr in a clinic would be a waste of resources and said drs time, as their skills aren’t required at all times or for every patient. This surely could be considered removing resources from mainstream healthcare where they can continue treating a variety of patients, rather than being confined to a clinic with only sporadic requirements for their prescribing services.

I support nurses for cosmetic procedures

To effectively safeguard consumers, it is essential to address the issue of unlicensed cosmetic injectors who operate without the necessary qualifications and training within Australia. This includes identifying individuals who procure illegal products online. Such measures are vital to ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals seeking cosmetic treatments.
