Welcome to ACAM
The Australasian College of Aesthetic Medicine (ACAM) is a membership of Medical Practitioners trained to high professional standards, whose objective is to serve the community by providing high quality care.
History
ACAM was formed in May 2014, when it emerged with the Australasian Society of Cosmetic Medicine (ASCM). From 2020 ACAM has been undergoing a redevelopment of the college and its educational platform, coinciding the overarching changes to Australian cosmetic medicine practice educational requirements, legislation changes and changes to Medical Board of Australia guidelines and policies.
In anticipation of these changes the new leadership of ACAM, from 2020, has created three separate educational fellowship pathways, and a nurse associate educational pathway. Two of the fellowship pathway and the nurse associate pathway see individuals awarded internationally recognised educational qualifications. All pathways are designed with modern and committed practitioners in mind, with educational delivered mostly online and in your own time. The flexible educational pathways are designed to fit in with practitioner’s busy professional life, whilst allowing the achievement of internationally recognised education.
In anticipation of changes to the Continuing Professional Development ecosystems, ACAM developed key online education and learning opportunities, so that members and due to demand, non-members can complete CPD in Ethics, Mental Health, Facial and Neck Anatomy. All courses are mutli-college CPD accredited for external validation of quality. ACAM has also created alliances to ensure membership discounts to major conferences and forums, and continued the tradition of educational dinners, whilst starting the guest lecture series open to all individuals who practice aesthetic medicine.
In 2023/24 ACAM finalised the modernisation of its constitution and creation of a company status, and application for NPF at the federal level, moving from its long traditional home of NSW. This process saw the development of a modern policy and procedure manual, expanded committees and a continued growth in membership, reflecting the maturity of the college, as well as the national membership base.
