Our Cosmetic Surgery Hotline, 1300 361 041, is where patients can tell us about their bad experiences. A specialised team is here to listen Monday to Friday 9am–5pm AEST. Concerns can be lodged confidentially so the practitioner will not know the name of the person who complained. You can also submit a concern online.
Don’t let what happened to you happen to someone else. Report your bad cosmetic surgery experience and help protect others.
