Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (Surgeons) Amendment Bill 2023
This bill protects the title 'surgeon' so only medical practitioners with significant surgical training can use it. It responds to widespread consumer confusion in the cosmetic surgery industry, where any doctor could previously call themselves a 'cosmetic surgeon' regardless of their qualifications, putting patients at risk.
