A clinical training institute, built by practising clinicians.
For more than 15 years, CPD Institute of Australia has trained the country's nurses, doctors and dentists in cosmetic injectables — with the depth, mentorship and ongoing support the industry expects.
Four principles that have shaped every cohort.
Clinically led
Every trainer is a practising injector — not theory-only.
Small group format
6–12 students per intake. One-on-one technique feedback.
Mentorship for life
APP membership, Coaching Clinic and complications hotline.
AHPRA aligned
Compliant with national clinical practice and CPD frameworks.
Everything you'd ask before enrolling.
We've trained thousands of clinicians, so we hear the same questions often. Here are the answers — in the level of detail you deserve.
Talk to our teamFounded by Nicky Tzimas, the CPD Institute of Australia was created to bridge the gap between weekend training certificates and confident, safe, ongoing clinical practice. Today we have positively impacted the careers of over 3,000+ healthcare practitioners and therapists from our purpose-built Cheltenham campus.
“Continuous education is essential to ensure professional development and growth.” We teach injectables the way medicine is taught — anatomy first, supervised practice, structured progression and ongoing case review. Foundation → Intermediate → Advanced → Mentoring.
Our faculty includes Cosmetic Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses with 10+ years of injecting experience, and a Mental Health Social Worker advising on body image and patient screening. Every educator works in clinic between teaching weeks.
All training models are recruited under our consent and safety framework. Models receive consultation, treatment by mentors and after-care. Students treat real anatomy under supervision — never on each other without clinical justification.
Our certified pathways count towards your AHPRA CPD obligations. Every student receives a digital certificate, learning hours record and access to recordings via the student portal.
