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.
