ABIC Education Committee: Shaping the Future of the Beauty and Aesthetic Industry

Welcome to a transformative journey towards a brighter, more professional future for the beauty and aesthetic industry in Australia.

In just three short years since its launch, ABIC has been pivotal in providing support, fostering unity across varied sectors, and building strong alliances with government bodies and industry associations. By establishing trust with industry professionals through much-needed guidance, assistance, and education, ABIC is poised to bring about a significant shift in our industry.

The Importance of the ABIC Education Committee

The ABIC Education Committee is set to play a crucial role in shaping the future of the beauty and aesthetic industry. As the industry evolves, so too must the standards and qualifications that underpin it. The Education Committee will be at the forefront of this evolution, ensuring that our industry not only meets but exceeds global standards.

Why an Education Committee?

Transformation takes time and perseverance. The ABIC Education Committee will be essential in ensuring:

• High-Quality Education: By developing and refining educational programs, we ensure that all industry professionals are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills.
• Standardised Qualifications: Creating consistent, nationally recognised qualifications to maintain the highest standards.
• Enhanced Professionalism: Promoting ongoing professional development and ethical practices.
• Industry Growth and Innovation: Driving growth through innovative educational strategies and programs.
• Client Safety: Ensuring that all procedures and treatments are performed by well-trained professionals, thereby safeguarding client health and well-being. 
• Public Trust and Confidence: Building public trust by ensuring all professionals are highly trained and qualified.

Collaboration with SACSA

The Education Committee will provide invaluable feedback to Service and Creative Skills Australia (SaCSA) and the Strategic Workforce Advisory Groups (SWAGs), helping shape the qualifications and education standards for the beauty and aesthetic industry. 

SaCSA, an industry-owned, industry-led Jobs and Skills Council, works across multiple sectors including Arts, Personal Services, Retail, Tourism, and Hospitality to enhance workforce planning and development (SACSA).

The SWAGs are dedicated groups of experts, including ABIC CEO Stefanie Milla, representing The Aesthetic & Beauty Industry Council who are a SACSA lead consultative body. These experts provide strategic guidance, industry insights, and recommendations on workforce-related matters (SACSA). 

By collaborating with these committees, the ABIC Education Committee will ensure that our educational framework is robust, forward-thinking, and aligned with the needs of both professionals and clients.
