Non-Surgical Symposium
Join us at Australasia’s Premier Educational Event in Non-Surgical Aesthetics
🗓 23-25 June 2023 📍 Gold Coast, Australia
Dear friends of the Non-Surgical Symposium (NSS),
We warmly welcome all healthcare professionals and practice staff working in the aesthetic medicine industry to attend the NSS 2023. The NSS is an all inclusive 3-day learning event designed to give you a lifetime of value.
The Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS) Board are pleased to be collaborating again with the Australasian Society of Cosmetic Dermatologists (ASCD) and welcome the endorsement of the meeting from the New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine (NZSCM).
We are proud that over the last 11 years the NSS has been a not-for-profit symposium with state-of-the-art learning to empower practitioners to provide value and safety to their patients.
NSS is proud to partner with a well-known charity, Interplast Australia. 2023 happens to be the 40th Anniversary of Interplast Australia, that makes our partnership all the more special.
The 2023 NSS has an expert, inclusive and diverse scientific advisory committee, who are working hard behind the scenes to put together outstanding and innovative content that will offer you great value. Sessions will also be made available on-demand post-event to give you the opportunity to catch up on any sessions missed or to recap on sessions you enjoyed.
Our team is working hard to ensure all safety precautions are taken, but to also ensure you experience the flair, surprises, excitement, and overall enjoyable experience you have come to love and expect when attending the NSS.
We can’t wait to reconnect the Non-Surgical Symposium community and we look forward to welcoming you to the sunny Gold Coast in June to state of the art Innovation, Education & Patient Safety™.

Our mission is to ‘repair bodies and rebuild lives’ and we do this through providing surgical services to those who could not otherwise afford or access these, and by building the capacity of local medical systems through our training and mentoring programs.
