If you are travelling from Blackburn, your aesthetic consultation takes place with Corey Anderson RN at 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh. Plan from your real starting address, allow time to arrive without rushing and bring the questions or concerns you want to discuss. The appointment begins with a private assessment and a conversation about your preferences, health history and suitable next steps. You are welcome to use the visit for information and questions only.
Your visit begins before you leave Blackburn
A useful consultation does not begin with a treatment choice. It begins with enough time to arrive, settle in and explain what has brought you to the clinic. Starting from your real Blackburn address, rather than the suburb name alone, makes that plan more realistic.
The clinic is at 12A Atherton Road in Oakleigh. Corey Anderson RN meets with you directly, listens to what you have noticed and gives you space to ask questions. No procedure is assumed, and the appointment can finish with information, more time to think, referral or a different next step.
What you can expect from the first conversation
Begin with what you notice
Describe the feature, change or question in your own words. You do not need to arrive knowing which service might fit.
Share what matters today
Corey asks about relevant health history, medicines, previous care, preferences and anything that has changed.
Understand the choices
The conversation can include suitable options, alternatives, material risks, likely costs and the choice to wait or do nothing.
Leave without pressure
You can use the appointment to gather information. Booking a consultation is not a commitment to proceed.
Start with the conversation, not a service list
You are not expected to diagnose the concern or choose a procedure before you arrive. Bring the question as it occurs to you, whether it is about a change in expression, facial balance, skin or simply whether aesthetic care is appropriate for you.
Corey will examine the concern, explain what sits within his nursing scope and tell you when another health professional would be the better next step. That continuity matters: the person listening to your goals is also the practitioner responsible for the assessment and discussion.

Plan the whole visit from Blackburn
Blackburn Station and South Parade may be useful starting context for some people. Others may begin near Central Road or Lake Road by Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, or from another part of the suburb entirely. Use your real address and appointment time in the Transport Victoria Journey Planner, check the return as well as the outward trip and confirm current disruptions near the day.
No fixed route or travel time is claimed here. If the practical plan changes, call the clinic rather than rushing or letting the journey create pressure around a clinical decision.
A later in-person review may never be needed, but it is useful to know whether a separate return would be manageable if Corey recommends one. Treat the first appointment and a possible review as two different journeys, which may happen on different days and at different times.
Choose the starting plan that fits your day
Start with the exact stop or address
Check the complete trip from South Parade or your actual origin, including the final leg to Atherton Road and the journey home.
Include the local leg first
Central Road and Lake Road identify a different starting area. Do not assume Blackburn Station is automatically the first useful part of your journey.
Keep a realistic alternative
Confirm the current clinic address and choose an option that lets you arrive comfortably. Rescheduling is always better than turning travel difficulty into pressure to proceed.
What to expect at your Oakleigh visit
You will meet directly with Corey for a calm, private assessment, with time to describe what you notice and ask the questions that matter to you.
Corey will assess the concern, discuss suitable options and alternatives, and explain material risks and costs before you make any decision. Same-day care may be discussed when assessment, consent and suitability support it, but it is never assumed.
What the journey cannot decide
Travel time, fare, parking and effort do not determine suitability or make care on the appointment day more likely. That decision belongs to the individual assessment, informed consent and your own preferences.
For an urgent or life-threatening illness or injury, use the appropriate urgent service and call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency. A routine aesthetic consultation is not emergency care.
Come in with questions, leave with a clearer next step
Meet Corey in Oakleigh for a private assessment that can end with a plan, more time to think, referral or no cosmetic care.
Is this for you?
Consider booking a consultation if
- Adults starting in Blackburn who want a consultation-led assessment and can plan the first Oakleigh journey without rushing
- People willing to test a possible later return before booking without assuming that a review will be required
- Adults who understand that travel practicality does not establish treatment suitability or a same-day decision
This may not be for you if
- Anyone seeking urgent medical assessment or expecting a routine cosmetic review to replace emergency care
- Anyone who cannot currently make the initial appointment or a clinically advised follow-up practical without pressure
- Anyone seeking a promised procedure, result or treatment decision before individual assessment
Suitability is confirmed at consultation. This list is general guidance, not a substitute for clinical assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Why test two trips before booking?
The first appointment and a possible later review can occur on different days, at different times and under different transport conditions. Checking both now shows whether the plan remains practical without assuming that a review will be needed.
Does a second trip check mean everyone needs an in person review?
No. It is contingency planning, not a prediction. Later contact may involve planned review, advice by phone, an in person check when clinically advised or a different health pathway when the situation is urgent.
What should I check when starting near the station?
Use the actual South Parade or nearby address, the appointment date and the expected finish time. Check the complete trip to 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh and the return journey. Confirm current services again close to travel.
What changes when starting near the lake sanctuary?
Central Road and Lake Road identify a different starting area from the station precinct. Enter the real address rather than assuming the station is the first useful leg, then check the full outward and return journeys.
Does Route 901 go directly to Core Aesthetics?
This page does not claim that it does. Route 901 may be relevant to part of some local journeys, but the reader must use a current journey planner for the complete trip to the clinic address.
What if rail works change the first appointment trip?
Transport Victoria advises checking planned works and Journey Planner for current options. Recheck close to travel and keep a workable fallback such as a different departure, another transport mode or rescheduling rather than rushing.
What belongs in a review fallback note?
Record how you would return to Oakleigh, who could help if needed, which transport alternative is realistic and how you would contact the clinic for instructions. The note supports planning; it does not replace clinical advice or emergency care.
What if the concern after care feels urgent?
Do not wait for a routine cosmetic review if immediate medical help may be needed. Use the appropriate urgent health service and call Triple Zero (000) for a critical or life-threatening illness or injury. This page cannot assess urgency.
Does a long trip make care on the appointment day more likely?
No. Time, fare, parking, distance and effort do not establish suitability or create an obligation to proceed. Assessment may lead to education, waiting, referral, more information or no cosmetic care.
How can I verify Corey Anderson and the clinic address?
Use the Core Aesthetics verification page and the Ahpra public register. Confirm Corey Anderson, the Registered Nurse profession, current registration information, 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh and the appointment contact details.
