Australasian Academy of Cosmetic Dermal Science Castle Hill, New South Wales 2154

Welcome to the Australasian Academy of Cosmetic Dermal Science (AACDS), located in Castle Hill, New South Wales, Australia. As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) established in 2004, AACDS is dedicated to delivering nationally accredited qualifications in cosmetic nursing and dermal therapies.

At AACDS, we pride ourselves on being pioneers in the field of aesthetics education. We developed the first vocational qualifications in dermal therapies in 2004 and the first formal postgraduate qualification in cosmetic nursing in 2007. Our commitment to innovation continues as we collaborate with the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia to develop the first Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualification in cosmetic medicine.

Whether you're a qualified nurse looking to enter the field of cosmetic nursing, a beauty or health professional seeking formal qualifications, or an aspiring dermal therapist, AACDS offers a range of courses tailored to your specific needs. Our postgraduate cosmetic nurse course is designed specifically for qualified nurses, while our undergraduate dermal therapy course is perfect for candidates wanting to work as qualified dermal therapists.

Our curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including the formulation of safe and effective personal care products, the study of bacterial ecosystems in the human body, clinical aspects of IPL and laser treatment, skin analysis and selection of dermal therapy procedures, and management and promotion of the cosmetic medical context.

In addition to our comprehensive courses, we also offer workshops and webinars to keep professionals in the field updated with the latest advancements. For example, our CPD Workshop Evening in Perth will focus on the POTENZA device, the world's first RF microneedling machine, while our virtual webinar provides an opportunity to learn more about studying dermal therapies or cosmetic nursing.
