A United Industry Voice

It’s time for a united industry voice

More than half of the professional beauty industry are not covered or supported by an industry body. The other half are scattered across industry and non-industry specific associations.

The lack of unison leaves us exposed in the face of challenges with little to no voice when presenting to government. We are not being heard and it’s leaving our industry compromised and fighting many independent battles as opposed to one strong one.

If we are to be recognised for the advanced industry we are, then the time has come for us all to join forces and be heard.

Created for the industry, by the industry

The Aesthetic Beauty Industry Council (ABIC) was established to better the professional standards, working practices and unity of the salon, clinic, spa industry.

Pairing the unwavering passion of small businesses with a large voice, ABIC proudly provides our diverse industry with the trusted, authentic and united representation they deserve.

Your ABIC Board Members are personally invested in the industry. Their long-term dedication to the industry, commitment, connections and specialised skill sets made them leading choices to build an industry standard, regulation and voice to government like no other.

5 Tips To Boost Cash Flow

Despite pandemic-related lockdowns becoming virtually a distant memory, many businesses in the beauty, hair, spa and aesthetic sectors are continuing to suffer the lingering impacts of COVID-19.

What To Look For In A Hair Removal Device

It isn’t just skincare that we are spoiled for choice by. The Australian beauty and aesthetics market is equally brimming with lasers, IPLs and other energy-based devices for a huge range of needs and indications.

Sensitivity Vs Barrier Disruption

How many times have you consulted with a client who claims “I have sensitive skin” only to find out shortly after that this isn’t the case? We are confident most of you will answer “so many times!”. As we know, sensitive skin is not the same as a disrupted barrier, though they are strongly correlated.

What We Learned From Rosacea Awareness Month

While it came and went incredibly fast (much like the entirety of 2022 so far!) April was Rosacea Awareness Month. We advocate highly for any national occasions or awareness campaigns that aim to improve education around skin and health topics.
