Lawyers for Beauty Salons and Cosmetic Clinics in Melbourne

Beauty salons, skin clinics and cosmetic injectable businesses are a fast-growing sector for Asian business owners in Melbourne. They are also increasingly regulated. Chua Tan Associates advises clinic owners, practitioners and buyers in English and Mandarin.

Setting up or buying a clinic

• Business purchase contracts and due diligence
• Premises leases and fit-out
• Shareholder and partnership agreements
• Agreements with doctors, nurses and therapists
• Franchise and brand licensing

Regulation and advertising

Cosmetic procedures performed by health practitioners are subject to professional regulation, including rules on who may perform procedures, prescribing, consent and advertising. Social media marketing that suits a beauty salon may not be permitted for a medical clinic. We help owners structure their business and contracts with these rules in mind.

Customers and complaints

We prepare client terms, consent and refund policies, and advise on complaints and disputes with customers.

Frequently asked questions

Can a non-practitioner own a cosmetic clinic?

Ownership is often possible, but how the clinic is structured and who controls clinical decisions matters. Get advice before setting up.

Can I advertise before-and-after photos?

Advertising rules for health services are strict. Check with us before launching a campaign.
