At Assure Cosmetic Centre, you’re in the care of a highly skilled medical team.
Assure Cosmetic Centre is owned and operated by five Specialist Plastic Surgeons who operate the State’s largest private plastic surgery practice, the Western Australian Plastic Surgery Centre.
Our clinic is a state-of-the-art facility offering cosmetic surgery procedures, plus a complete range of advanced non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic treatments.
Our Specialist Plastic Surgeons are members of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Our qualified cosmetic nurses and dermal therapists are highly experienced and receive ongoing training to stay abreast of the very latest cosmetic techniques and technology.
If you are considering cosmetic surgery, the most important decision you will make is your choice of surgeon.
In Australia, Specialist Plastic Surgeons:
- Have trained in specialist plastic surgery for a minimum of five years and have at least 12 years’ medical and surgical education and experience;
- Are Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons – look for ‘FRACS (PLAS)’ qualification after their name;
- Have undergone extensive training to perform invasive surgical procedures covering all aspects of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, frequently undertaking fellowship training overseas with experienced plastic surgeons; and
- Are members of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, recognised by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons as the only legitimate professional body representing the field of cosmetic surgery in Australia.
At Assure, all our surgeons are Specialist Plastic Surgeons in full-time practice. They are also plastic surgery consultants at tertiary hospitals and are actively involved in postgraduate surgical training programs for the specialty of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
By comparison, there is not the same level of accreditation and training for doctors calling themselves ‘cosmetic doctors’. In Australia, any doctor can perform surgery and call themselves a ‘cosmetic doctor’. Consequently, the training, skills and experience of cosmetic doctors varies greatly.

For any cosmetic procedure, it is important to check that your surgeon is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon and is a member of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Assure’s History
Assure Cosmetic Centre originated with the opening of Assure Medispa in 2009 – Western Australia’s first medispa owned and operated by a team of Specialist Plastic Surgeons. This was followed in 2012 with the launch of the State’s first cosmetic breast clinic, Assure Breast Centre. In 2014, the two clinics were merged to become ‘Assure Cosmetic Centre’.
We only offer non-surgical treatments and products that are medically endorsed and have clinically-proven outcomes.
Non-surgical treatments are conducted in our clinic located at St John of God Hospital in Subiaco. Surgical procedures are scheduled typically after two consultations with a Specialist Plastic Surgeon and are performed in fully-accredited private hospitals.
