Core Aesthetics in Oakleigh is led by Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575), registered since January 1996. This page links the practitioner profile, the AHPRA verification page, the C.O.R.E. methodology, the patient safety information, and the consultation process in one hub.
Choosing a practitioner for cosmetic injectable treatment is a clinical decision. The practitioner who assesses you matters more than the treatment itself.
This page is the single index of the information that supports that decision at Core Aesthetics. Each link below is a longer page in its own right; together they describe the people, methods, and safety framework behind every consultation and every treatment delivered at the Oakleigh clinic.
The Practitioner
Corey Anderson, Registered Nurse, AHPRA , is the sole treating practitioner at Core Aesthetics. Corey has been registered with AHPRA (and its predecessor Nursing and Midwifery Board of Victoria) since January 1996. Every client at Core Aesthetics is seen by Corey personally for every appointment, initial consultation, treatment, and review.
Corey’s full profile, including background, scope of practice, and approach, is on the team page.
Independent AHPRA Verification
Practitioner registration with AHPRA is publicly verifiable. The verify page sets out how to confirm Corey’s registration directly with AHPRA and the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. The registration number, name, and current registration status are searchable on the AHPRA public register at ahpra.gov.au.
Verifying a practitioner’s registration before treatment is good practice for any cosmetic injectable consultation, regardless of clinic. AHPRA’s public register is the authoritative source.
The C.O.R.E. Method
Every consultation at Core Aesthetics follows a structured four stage approach: Consult, Organise, Refine, Evaluate. The method is described in detail on the C.O.R.E. method page.
The intent of the method is consistency. Every client is assessed against the same framework, facial proportions, volume distribution, skin quality, history, goals, so the recommendation is anchored in clinical findings rather than what the client originally walked in asking for.
Patient Safety and Compliance
Cosmetic injectables in Australia are regulated as therapeutic goods by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and the practitioners who administer them are regulated by AHPRA. The Core Aesthetics patient safety page sets out how the clinic operates within the AHPRA September 2025 cosmetic guidelines and the TGA Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code.
The clinic does not use patient endorsements about the service, does not display before/after imagery of identifiable patients, does not name product brands or active ingredients in advertising contexts, does not run reduced fee or time limited promotions, and does not make specific outcome claims. These rules are not optional; they are the regulatory framework cosmetic injectables operate under in Australia.
The Consultation Process
Every treatment at Core Aesthetics is preceded by an individual consultation. The consultation guide describes what happens at the appointment, the assessment Corey conducts, the discussion of suitability and alternatives, and the conditions under which a recommendation of no treatment is the right outcome.
Same day treatment without a prior consultation is not offered. The consultation is the clinical step that determines whether treatment is appropriate at all.
Reviews and Feedback
Core Aesthetics’ Google rating and review count are sourced from the live Google Business Profile and surface on the site as an aggregate metric. Individual review text is not republished on this site, in compliance with section 133 of the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code, which prohibits the use of endorsements in advertising for regulated cosmetic services.
Clients who have been seen by Corey and wish to leave feedback can do so directly on the Google Business Profile, that information is hosted by Google and remains an independent record.

General Information
This page is for general guidance only. Results vary between individuals. The information here does not replace an individual consultation with a qualified AHPRA-registered health practitioner. Cosmetic injectables are regulated as therapeutic goods in Australia and decisions about treatment are made on a case by case basis at consultation.
About This Information
The information on this page is provided for general educational purposes. It is not a substitute for clinical advice and does not constitute a recommendation that you proceed with any particular treatment. Cosmetic injectable treatments are prescription medical procedures. They carry risks that vary between individuals and that must be assessed and discussed in a clinical context before any treatment decision is made.
At Core Aesthetics, Corey Anderson assesses every patient individually. The consultation is the point at which your specific anatomy, medical history, and goals are evaluated together. No treatment is offered at a first appointment, and no treatment is appropriate for everyone. This page is a starting point, a way to understand what is involved before you decide whether a consultation is the right next step for you.
If you have questions about anything on this page or about whether treatment might be appropriate for your situation, you are welcome to call the clinic or book a consultation at no obligation.
This page provides clinical information about Trust and Credentials at Core Aesthetics. It is intended for adults aged 18 and over who are considering cosmetic injectable treatment and want to understand the clinical process, suitability factors, and what to expect from a consultation based practice.

Results vary between individuals and are reviewed at follow up.

The clinical content in “Trust and Credentials at Core Aesthetics” is written and reviewed by Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575). Core Aesthetics operates as a one practitioner, consultation based, low volume clinic in Oakleigh, Melbourne, which means every recommendation on this page reflects the same clinical perspective rather than a copywriter’s interpretation of it. Results vary between individuals, and any guidance written for the general reader has to acknowledge that variance, what the published evidence supports for the average patient may not be what the assessment supports for a specific patient.
Specific to core aesthetics trust credentials: this page describes the typical clinical picture for a healthy adult patient at the time of writing. Individual circumstances, medical history, current medications, prior cosmetic treatment, skin type, age, hormonal state, lifestyle, can shift any of the timelines and recommendations described here. The information is provided to help patients arrive at consultation already familiar with the underlying clinical reasoning, not to replace the consultation itself. Results vary between individuals; this page describes the centre of the distribution, not the edges. The facial rejuvenation Melbourne refined page covers an adjacent topic in more depth.

Frequently asked questions
How do I verify Corey’s AHPRA registration?
Visit ahpra.gov.au and use the public register search. Search for AHPRA registration or the practitioner name Corey Anderson. The register returns current registration status, profession, and any conditions on the registration. AHPRA is the authoritative source, links from this site are for convenience only.
Why does this site not show before and after photos?
