Program overview

Cosmetic injectable training built for safe, confident practice

Our cosmetic injectable training program equips registered nurses with the theoretical knowledge and supervised practical experience required to administer botulinum toxin and dermal fillers safely and effectively. Covering facial anatomy, injection techniques, patient consultation, informed consent, and complication management — this program is fully aligned with the AHPRA 2025 Guidelines for practitioners who perform non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

Under Australian law, registered nurses may administer cosmetic injectables only under a valid prescribing arrangement and within their NMBA scope of practice. Our program ensures you understand and operate within these professional and legal boundaries, and prepares you to manage complications including vascular occlusion — the highest-risk event in cosmetic injecting.

Is this program right for you?

Who is this cosmetic injectable training for?

Nurses entering aesthetics

Registered nurses meeting the AHPRA 2025 requirement for specialised cosmetic training before performing injectables — combining theory, anatomy, and supervised live-patient practice.

Nurses expanding their injectable repertoire

Experienced cosmetic nurses who have been trained in basic anti-wrinkle injections and now want to develop advanced dermal filler skills including lip augmentation and mid-face volumisation.

Nurses seeking AHPRA 2025 compliance

Practitioners already working in aesthetics who need to formalise their training to meet the mandatory education and supervised experience requirements under the September 2025 AHPRA guidelines.

The injectable training with Dr Pirzada was the most thorough I have encountered. The anatomy focus, the live patient work, and the complication management training gave me real confidence to practice safely — not just technically, but legally and ethically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Botulinum toxin (marketed as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin) is a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines and crow's feet. Dermal fillers, most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, add volume and structure to areas such as the lips, cheeks, and jawline. Both are Schedule 4 prescription medicines in Australia — nurses must administer them under a valid prescription from a doctor or nurse practitioner.

Our injectable training program is structured across 8 modules combining theory and supervised practical sessions. Duration depends on your starting experience level, but most nurses complete the program across multiple clinic days to ensure adequate hands-on practice.
Under the AHPRA 2025 Cosmetic Injectables Guidelines, registered nurses must: have a minimum of 12 months full-time general nursing experience; complete specialised training in cosmetic procedures including anatomy, patient assessment, and complication management; operate under a valid prescribing arrangement; and engage in ongoing CPD specific to cosmetic practice.
Our program is designed to meet the educational standards outlined in the AHPRA 2025 guidelines. We recommend all nurses also check with their insurer regarding documentation of training for professional indemnity purposes.
Our program includes dedicated theory and practical training in vascular occlusion — the most serious complication in cosmetic injecting. You will learn recognition, immediate management protocols, hyaluronidase administration, and when to escalate to emergency care. This content is non-negotiable in our curriculum.
