Open the Ahpra public register and search the practitioner’s name or registration number. Match the name, profession and current registration status, then read any published conditions or undertakings before you rely on the result.
A registration check should feel easy
You are allowed to know who is responsible for your care. A quick register check gives you an independent starting point before you share health information, make an appointment or consider any plan.
Open the Ahpra public register and search the practitioner’s name or registration number. Match the name, profession and current registration status, then read any published conditions or undertakings before you rely on the result.
Four details should line up
The same full name
Compare the register entry with the person the clinic says will assess you.
The stated health profession
Check whether the register says Registered Nurse, Medical Practitioner or another profession.
Current registration
Read the status shown on the day you check, rather than relying on an old screenshot or profile.
Conditions and undertakings
Open the full entry and read any published information that may affect your questions.
Open the register and check in order
- Ask the clinic for the full name of the practitioner who will assess you.
- Open the official Ahpra register and search that name. A registration number is even more precise when you have one.
- Open the matching result. Confirm the profession and current registration status.
- Read the complete public entry, including any conditions, undertakings or notations shown.
- Compare the result with the clinic’s description of the practitioner’s role. Ask the clinic to clarify anything that does not line up.
Core Aesthetics identifies Corey Anderson as a Registered Nurse and provides registration number NMW0001047575. Enter that number on the public register to complete your own current check.
What should you do with the result?
Keep the details
Save the name, profession and registration number with your appointment notes, then move on to questions about the consultation itself.
Refine the search
Use the registration number or profession. Ask the clinic to identify the exact person rather than choosing a result by guesswork.
Pause and ask
Do not force a match. Ask for clarification and check the official entry again before making a clinical decision.
Registration is a starting point
The register helps confirm identity, profession and registration information. It cannot decide whether a cosmetic plan suits you, how clearly a practitioner communicates or how follow-up will work.
Continue with what Ahpra registration means for patients when you want to understand those limits without repeating the lookup.
Put names beside the care decisions
Once the register entry is clear, ask who will assess you, who will perform any agreed care, who makes a prescribing decision if one is relevant, and who owns routine review or an unexpected concern.
The answer may involve more than one registered practitioner. What matters is that the handoffs are named and understandable before consent. The practitioner selection guide helps you trace those roles without turning this page into a general clinic comparison.
Keep a simple verification note
| Write down | Where it comes from | What it helps you ask |
|---|---|---|
| Full practitioner name | The clinic and register entry | Is this the person who will assess me? |
| Profession and number | The public register | Does the clinic description match the official record? |
| Status and check date | The current register result | Is this information current today? |
| Published information | The complete register entry | Is there anything I want clarified before booking? |
| Care contacts | The clinic conversation | Who owns assessment, consent and follow-up? |
Pause when the person stays unclear
Pause if a clinic will not name the practitioner, asks you to rely on a social profile instead of the public register, or cannot explain a mismatch in profession, status or registration number. It is also reasonable to wait if the assessment, consent or follow-up roles remain vague.
This page is general information, not legal advice or a suitability decision. Check current registration directly with Ahpra whenever the answer matters to your decision.
What to expect at Core Aesthetics
You will meet directly with Corey, the same practitioner named in the clinic’s registration information, for a calm and private assessment.
Bring the concern in your own words, your health information and any questions raised by the register check. Corey explains his role, the assessment and the next step. A consultation can finish with information, more time, referral or no treatment.
Meet the person behind the registration
Come in with your questions, meet Corey and leave with a clearer understanding of what is appropriate for you.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I check an aesthetic practitioner registration?
Use the Ahpra public register or Ahpra register search page. Search by practitioner name or registration number, then compare the profession, registration status and any published conditions or undertakings with the details the clinic has provided.
What is Corey Anderson RN registration number?
Core Aesthetics identifies Corey Anderson RN with Ahpra registration number NMW0001047575. Patients can use that number on the Ahpra public register to check current registration information before booking or before deciding whether a consultation feels right.
Does registration mean treatment is suitable for me?
No. Registration confirms professional status, not individual suitability. Suitability depends on consultation, medical history, anatomy, expectations, risks, alternatives, consent and timing. A safe consultation may lead to treatment planning, waiting, referral or no treatment.
What should I ask after checking registration?
Ask who will assess you, who will perform any procedure, who is involved if prescription-only medicine is considered, how consent works, what risks apply and how follow-up is managed.
What if the clinic will not name the practitioner?
That is a reason to pause and ask more questions. You should know who is responsible for assessment and care before making a treatment decision, and you should be able to check that person against the current public register.
Can I still have treatment on the same day?
Possibly, but only if Corey determines treatment is suitable and appropriate, consent is complete and all clinical and regulatory steps have been met. Same day treatment is not automatic.
What does the register not show?
The register does not show whether a treatment is right for you, whether expectations are realistic, or whether a specific plan is appropriate. Those questions belong in consultation.
Is this page legal advice?
No. This page is general patient education about registration checking before aesthetic consultation. Registration and legal questions should be checked against current official sources and individual circumstances, and personal clinical advice requires assessment.
