The Problem

98 of 100 Australian cosmetic clinic websites break TGA advertising rules.

Operation Redress (2024) found 98 of 100 Australian cosmetic clinic websites in breach of TGA advertising rules. Then AHPRA's September 2025 guidelines came into effect and added a testimonial ban, before/after restrictions, and prohibitions on inducements and trivialising language.

Most clinic websites were built before these rules existed. They still show Google reviews, before/after galleries, named injectable products, and countdown-timer specials. Each one is a separate contravention. Each contravention carries a fine up to $66,600 for corporate entities under the TGA alone.

Complaints are anonymous. Any person can lodge one with AHPRA or the TGA. The investigation that follows is not. A non-compliant website is not a minor oversight. It is a documented paper trail.

About Vikas Thakur

The AHPRA-compliance specialist for Australian cosmetic clinics.

Vikas Thakur spent 16 years building for companies like TPG, iiNet and Monadelphous. RockingWeb now applies that engineering rigour to one problem: cosmetic and aesthetic clinics that need websites and marketing which comply with AHPRA's higher-risk advertising guidelines and the TGA's restrictions on naming prescription products.

This is not generic web design with a compliance disclaimer bolted on. The work is governed by specific regulations that most web agencies have never read.

Regulatory scope

  • AHPRA Guidelines for advertising higher-risk non-surgical cosmetic procedures (effective 2 September 2025)
  • TGA therapeutic goods advertising code under ss.42DL and 42DLB of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989
  • Section 133 of the National Law (Health Practitioner Regulation National Law)

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers on AHPRA compliance for cosmetic clinics.

What does the September 2025 AHPRA rule change mean for my clinic website?

The AHPRA Guidelines for advertising higher-risk non-surgical cosmetic procedures took effect 2 September 2025. They ban testimonials for regulated procedures, restrict before/after imagery, prohibit time-limited offers and inducements, and ban language that trivialises risk. If your site was built before that date and has not been reviewed, it is almost certainly in breach.

Can my clinic website name Botox or Dysport?

No. The TGA prohibits advertising therapeutic goods containing Schedule 4 substances to the general public under sections 42DL and 42DLB of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. Naming Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, or any other Schedule 4 product on a publicly accessible page is prohibited regardless of how it is framed.

Can I show before and after photos under AHPRA?

Under the 2025 guidelines, before/after imagery for higher-risk non-surgical cosmetic procedures requires specific disclosures and cannot imply typical results. Text-based outcome descriptions with appropriate disclaimers are the safer architecture. We build pages around this structure.

What is the fine for an AHPRA advertising breach?

National Law s.133 carries penalties up to $5,000 per contravention for an individual and $10,000 for a body corporate per contravention. TGA infringement notices can reach $13,320 per contravention for individuals and $66,600 for corporate entities. Court-imposed civil penalties for multiple or aggravated breaches can be significantly higher.

How long does a compliance website build take?

Compliance remediations on existing sites take 2 to 3 weeks. A new AHPRA-compliant clinic website build takes 4 to 6 weeks depending on scope. You get a milestone schedule before work starts so there are no surprises.

Do you only work with cosmetic clinics?

Cosmetic and aesthetic clinics are the focus. The compliance work requires knowing the AHPRA and TGA regulations in detail, and that is specific to registered healthcare practitioners and the businesses they operate. For general web design or SaaS projects, see our services page.
