Thank you everyone. Your thoughts are helpful. I am lucky enough to have dual nationality, so that aspect of working is easier for me. I also have both an undergraduate and post graduate degree , & am registered with all appropriate UK organizations / boards. My aesthetic practice here in UK is strictly governed and totally above board. All procedures are regulated by the NMC / CQC etc. I'd hope to work as ethically and carefully in Australia. Just as you've mentioned happening in Oz, we do have unqualified charletons here, who offer treatments using illegally sourced medication / products from China or somesuch country. Ironically, because they are not medically registered, they can get away with it, and damage a lot of people to boot! It is a ridiculous situation.

Xxlornaxx Thank you very much. I already have a Masters (MSc) , but not specifically for prescribing. The difference here in UK is that to be allowed to complete the prescribing V300 course, you have to be at level 7 anyway. It's a massive slog to have to do yet another 3 years, and a waste of my UK qualification if I can't use it in Australia! Thank you for your good advice. I will ask those working as aesthetic nurses. xx

Goid morning. I am a qualified and registered British nurse. I am also qualified and practice as a non-surgical aesthetic nurse (botoxcetc) & have a clinic here in UK. I am registeredwith the NMC and have all appropriate regulsted training required. I am now training to be an independent nurse prescriber , which is allowed here in UK. Is anyone aware of the requirements to practice as an aesthetic nurse in Australia? Can nurses prescribe (with limitations ) in Oz? Thank you very much in advance - if you are able to shed light on the subject!
