To make the advertising simpler and to help with your clinic audits that are coming soon, we have discussed with Sarah Hart (NZSCM censor) and put this easier to understand document together to hopefully help you. There are more questions about competitions to be added but we need to ask TAPS about it.
As we get more questions and more information we can update this document. Please click the links below:

Advertising Regulations
NZSCM Censor Dr Sarah Hart is pleased to provide the following information for you.
Therapeutic advertising is advertising that’s intended to promote clinics; a nurse, doctor or dentist; health products, and health services.
All cosmetic medicine advertising is therefore “therapeutic advertising” and has extra regulations.
If we choose to advertise, we have two options to stay legal – either we learn all the regulations ourselves, or we can use a paid service to check our ad is legal before we publish it, called the “Therapeutic Advertising Pre-Vetting Service” (TAPS).
If you’ve chosen to learn the regulations, here are some resources we’ve created to help you.
Feel free to share them with your ad creative, practice manager, marketing department or any nurses you provide Standing Orders for.
