Episode 238 hosts Maria Reid, a Registered Nurse based in Tasmania, Australia. Maria has a Masters in Clinical leadership and is the co-owner of Eden Clinic based in Hobart.

In this bonus and short podcast, we discuss the new and significant regulatory changes that have been implemented in the state of Tasmania for cosmetic clinics.

Back in 2021 Maria was invited to a forum held by the Tasmanian Department of Health. In this meeting the government announced that they would be implementing some voluntary but no less significant changes in how cosmetic clinics operate and how they are licensed. Clinics who do not have a prescribing doctor on site would instead need to apply to become a 'licensed facility' - similar to the licensing of a day surgery facility. 

Maria shares the background to this story and how she completed the process for her own clinic. And she has a warning for the rest of Australia - change for the rest of the country is almost certainly coming.
