Your support is needed to request the Ministry of Health to recognise Skin and Beauty Therapists as Health Professionals (as are Podiatrists, Acupuncturists and Herbal Medicine practitioners).
By gaining this status, the Skin and Beauty Therapy industry will be recognised by Government agencies and Local Authorities for consultation on any proposed changes in
laws, by-laws or regulations
The title (e.g. “Skin Therapist”) will be a recognised professional title which can only be used by someone who meets the standards set by the Beauty and Skin Therapy responsible authority, in the same way a person can only call themselves a Nurse if they are registered.
To undertake some treatments, Therapists will need to be qualified to do so. This may provide a pathway for some therapists to be able undertake more advanced treatments currently only able to be performed by Nurses or Doctors.
The Department of Immigration will have a reference point when considering work visa applications.
Please provide your support by providing your name, and either your address, email or phone number in the form on the next page.
The details you provide will only be used for the purposes of the Petition and will not be released to other parties.
Thank you
