Member Update with Gayle Dube #25

Beauty Expo Australia 2024 was special this year, it was an absolute pleasure to connect with so many of our members and industry professionals in person. There is something truly special about coming together, sharing experiences, and engaging in meaningful conversations that can only happen face-to-face. This year, more than ever, those conversations were vital as we discussed the future of our industry, particularly concerning the ABS Occupations Review for Beauty and Dermal therapists.

The energy at the expo was incredible, and the passion for our industry was truly noticeable. It is heartwarming to witness the support, care, and dedication that we all share, especially during this critical time. The conversations we had about the ABS review were not just important, they were essential. This review will significantly impact how our professions are recognised and valued, and your input and engagement are key to ensuring that our voices are heard.

But our work doesn’t stop at the expo. Now, more than ever, we need to unite as an industry. By joining your industry peak body, you’re not just becoming a member—you’re adding strength to our collective voice. The more members we have, the louder we can advocate for the standards and recognition our industry deserves.

This is a time to stand together, be louder than ever, and fight for the industry we love so much. Your support is crucial, and together, we can shape the future of beauty and dermal therapy in Australia and New Zealand.
