Standing Orders
Cosmetic medicine isn’t its own specialty in New Zealand. Instead, it’s regulated by a practitioner’s responsible authority, doctor, nurse, or dentist. This page explains how the system works, who’s responsible for what, and where NZSCM fits in.

Therapeutic Advertising
The New Zealand government sets the regulations that govern the advertising of prescription medicines and medical devices. NZSCM doesn’t make these rules, but because they can be difficult to navigate in a cosmetic medicine context, we’ve created this guide to help clarify what’s compliant and what's not.
