Home/Compliance
Compliance isn't the handbrake. It's the advantage.
Every word, frame and ad we make is checked against Ahpra's advertising rules before it goes live. Here's how we think about it.
Section 133
Five rules every regulated clinic lives by.
Section 133 of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law applies to anyone advertising a regulated health service. In plain English:
Superlatives you can't prove, “pain-free” promises and partial prices all fall here.
If there's an offer, the terms sit right beside it.
Reviews and patient stories about clinical care stay out of your advertising.
No guaranteed results. No implying treatment always works.
No urgency, fear or pressure to book something a patient may not need.
If we can't point to the evidence, it doesn't go in.
By specialty
Same law. Different pressure points.
The extra checks we run for each area we work in.
“Specialist” only for registered specialists. All-On-X, never the trademarked name. No results claims from case photos.
“Surgeon” is a protected title. Risk and recovery information sits beside the benefits. Nothing that glamorises surgery.
No headline success rates, with YourIVFSuccess for comparison. Fee, Medicare rebate and out-of-pocket shown together. Inclusive language. Neutral SMS and subject lines. No urgency.
No testimonials, no guarantees, evidence for every claim, full costs with terms, and titles that match registration.
Who this covers
Every profession Ahpra regulates.
Ahpra works with 15 National Boards to regulate 16 health professions. The advertising rules apply to all of them.
The compliance lens
Plenty of clinic ads break the rules. Ours don't.
Pick a specialty. Five problems in each. Flip the lens and watch how we'd write it.
