Price requests to clinics are not open yet.
When they open, you will be able to ask laser and skin clinics near your postcode for a written price. For now, the published prices will get you most of the way:
What can't you ask about here?
Cosmetic injectables, and consultations with a doctor or nurse about them. Most are prescription-only medicines that cannot be advertised to the public↗, and the TGA says a stated price for one is likely to count as an advertisement↗. A request service that matched people to prescribers would sit too close to that line, so this one does not. Our guide to the injectables rules explains what you can find out instead.
How are introductions paid for?
Clinics may pay us a fee when we pass on a request. It does not change what you pay the clinic. We will not take that fee from a doctor, nurse or other registered health practitioner, or from a clinic on their behalf. Their guidelines say practitioners must not offer financial inducements, such as a commission, to anyone to recruit people for cosmetic procedures↗, and doctors must not pay agents a commission to recruit patients↗. Those guidelines count laser hair removal and chemical peels↗ as cosmetic procedures too.
What happens to your details?
The treatment you ask about can be health information, which the Privacy Act treats as sensitive. We collect it only with your consent↗, given by ticking a separate box, and we ask for no medical history. We keep a request for 12 months and then delete it. The privacy policy covers who receives it, where it is stored and how to have it removed.
Until requests open, there is no form on this site that collects your details. The Beauty Price publishes prices and rules only.
