For a consultation from Cheltenham, plan your route to 12A Atherton Road in Oakleigh, allow time for a private conversation and bring the health details and questions that matter to you. Corey Anderson RN will listen to what you have noticed, review relevant history and explain whether the next step is more information, time to think, referral, a later visit or no cosmetic care.
Start with the visit, not a treatment name
For a consultation from Cheltenham, plan your route to 12A Atherton Road in Oakleigh, allow time for a private conversation and bring the health details and questions that matter to you. You do not need to diagnose the concern or choose an option before you arrive.
You will meet Corey Anderson RN. He will listen to what you have noticed, ask what has prompted the visit and review the health information that could shape responsible advice. The appointment can remain a conversation, and it may lead to more information, time to think, referral, a later visit or no cosmetic care.
Which Cheltenham starting point fits your day?
Start near Charman Road
Check the live service and allow for the connection between Cheltenham and the Oakleigh clinic.
Start near Bay Road
Southland Station is a separate Cheltenham starting point, so use the route that matches where your day actually begins.
Plan to the clinic address
Use current directions to 12A Atherton Road, Oakleigh and leave a margin for traffic, parking and arrival.
Protect the return journey
Avoid squeezing the appointment between commitments. Leave room for questions and any personal planning advice.
Make the whole visit feel manageable
Cheltenham Station and Southland Station are different starting points. Choose the one that reflects where you will actually be, then check the live journey before leaving. If you are driving, navigate to the clinic address rather than relying on a suburb-to-suburb estimate.
Think beyond arrival. A little space after the appointment makes it easier to ask questions, read information and plan a return or review if one is appropriate. If transport, work or caring commitments could make follow-up difficult, mention that to Corey during the consultation.
For clinic arrival details, continue to planning your visit.
Check live travel details before you leave
Rail services, planned works and station facilities can change. Check the official Cheltenham Station page or Southland Station page on the day, then allow a comfortable arrival margin.
Your first question is enough to begin
You might know exactly what has changed, or only that something feels less familiar. Either is a useful place to start. Corey can ask when you noticed it, what matters about it now and whether health history, medicines, previous care or an upcoming event changes the conversation.
He remains your practitioner through assessment, information, consent and follow-up planning. Personal advice comes after that assessment, not from a photograph, a trend or another person’s experience. You can use the visit for questions only and take time before making a decision.

Bring three things that make the conversation useful
What have you noticed?
Describe the feature, when it stands out and what you hope to understand. A phone note is enough.
What could shape advice?
Bring current medicines, allergies, relevant conditions and dates of previous cosmetic or medical care.
What happens after?
Mention travel, events and your ability to return so any advice fits your real schedule.
Some concerns need a different first appointment
A cosmetic consultation is not the right first stop for a new or worsening symptom, pain, a concerning skin change or an urgent medical issue. Seek an appropriate medical assessment first. Corey may also recommend more records, time to think, another clinician’s advice or no cosmetic care when that is the responsible path.
This boundary keeps the consultation useful without turning it into a promise. Current Ahpra guidance for non-surgical cosmetic procedures informs the clinic’s approach to assessment, consent, information and follow-up.
What to expect at your Oakleigh visit
Come as you are, with a question rather than a finished plan. Corey will make space for a calm, private discussion about what matters to you.
Bring medicines, allergies, relevant health history and the questions you want answered. Corey will listen, assess and explain the next responsible step. Booking the consultation does not commit you to cosmetic care.
Make the Cheltenham journey worth the conversation
Meet Corey in Oakleigh to talk through what you have noticed, ask questions and understand the next responsible step without pressure.

Frequently asked questions
How should Cheltenham patients use this page?
Use it when Cheltenham is your real starting point and you are deciding whether an Oakleigh consultation is practical. The page helps with station access, Southland, Bay Road, review access and questions to bring. It does not decide clinical suitability.
How far is Cheltenham from Core Aesthetics?
Cheltenham is about 10 km by road from Cheltenham Station to Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh. Allow time for Charman Road, Nepean Highway, Warrigal Road, parking, public transport and the return trip after the appointment.
Does travelling from Cheltenham change clinical suitability?
No. Travel distance, local convenience and appointment timing do not decide suitability. Corey Anderson RN reviews your concern, health background, medicines, expectations, risk profile, consent readiness and review access.
Which treatment questions can be discussed?
General questions about wrinkle treatment, volume treatment, lip treatment, skin quality, pricing, cost, timing and review planning can be discussed. Personal options are discussed privately only when assessment supports that conversation.
What should I bring from Cheltenham?
Bring current medicines, allergy details, relevant health history, previous cosmetic treatment dates, dental or medical records if relevant, event timing, travel constraints and written questions.
Can the appointment stay as advice only?
Yes. A consultation may end with advice, further information, records review, referral, waiting, later review or no cosmetic treatment. Booking does not mean treatment will be recommended.
When might waiting or referral be recommended?
Waiting or referral may be recommended when symptoms, medicines, recent procedures, unclear history, tight timing, pregnancy or breastfeeding questions, mental health concerns or review access make a cosmetic pathway inappropriate.
Should reviews or comparison photos decide my choice?
No. Reviews and comparison photos can provide context, but they cannot predict your outcome or replace assessment. Suitability depends on your anatomy, history, expectations, risks and consent discussion.
How can Cheltenham patients verify Corey and the clinic?
Corey Anderson is listed as a Registered Nurse with Ahpra registration NMW0001047575. You can check the Core Aesthetics verification page, clinic contact details and the Ahpra public register before booking.
Is this Cheltenham page medical advice?
No. It is general preparation information for adults considering consultation. It cannot diagnose a concern, confirm suitability, recommend treatment or replace an individual clinical assessment.
