Choosing the right franchisee or partner for you
You may be looking at a few options at this stage, to help, we have compiled a checklist of important points that you should consider:
- The business must have a high level of medical expertise in the cosmetic industry that will support you.
- Staff should be experience and highly trained.
- The doctors consenting and consulting with your patients must be of the highest calibre and know how to handle complications in a crisis.
- You must be fully aware of the regulations and legalities involved.
- Have good psychological care and management of the difficult patients.It is imperative you have good complication and psychological management to ensure that patient centred care is always the first priority
- Marketing and business entrepreneurship needs to be within the legislative guidelines.
Warning: You must be extremely cautious of the offerings out there. Many businessmen, inexperienced doctors and poorly informed people may lead you into legal, psychological and financial distress, we have seen many cases of this recently where large legal disputes are occurring and substantial amounts of money have been lost. Activities such as Botox parties, injecting in laundries and other disapproved places can lead to suspension or even jail. The recent tragedy in Sydney is a prime example of the risks being taken by those assisting patients to be treated in private residences.
Business, training and advice to help you succeed
Dr Murray is in a unique position to understand strategy and give business advice as he has completed an executive MBA in the number 1 MBA school in the world; Chicago North Western Kellogg School of Management. He was extremely lucky to have completed this in the Hong Kong, Beijing and Chicago campuses giving him the most up-to-date business knowledge on how to succeed in your business. For example; online discount deals and cheap prices are referred to as “the prisoner’s dilemma” or “the race to the bottom” and will not lead to long-term success.

We have experienced trainers available to assist you including an after-hours number to call.
There are multiple types of opportunities
- Franchise opportunities run under a service umbrella account for almost fully independent operating.
- Joining the Absolute group in an area with a limited liability partnership where you are still part of the Absolute team with clinical and operational support.
Purchase of a clinic or setting a clinic up
These will be four walls and well fitted out. The majority partnership will be with the Absolute team but a significant portion of this clinic will be yours as part of this team.
Re-branding of existing clinics
This is an exciting and sensible opportunity. It will lead to great savings and enhancement of your reputation by joining one of the oldest clinics in Australia with a huge brand presence. Arrangements will be made and negotiated on a clinic by clinic purpose but guidelines that adhere to practice we wish to be perfect must be followed.
If you wish to have a quality team with excellent back up by a doctor that wrote the guidelines on injecting as the society president, please contact us on 93899099.
Franchise and limited liability partnerships are now available
We are now offering exciting opportunities to the right people. “Who are the right people?” you may ask. We want motivated, caring, honest, intelligent nurses and doctors to join our team.
