Complaints Advisory Service

As a major skin therapy industry stakeholder, the NZ Board of Professional Skin Therapies provides a complaints service to assist both professionals in the skin therapy industry and our customers to access information, advice, and support when they wish to report substandard training, equipment, or an adverse incident.

​

All complaints are treated in strict confidence.  Our process and support services are provided by experienced trained professionals who offer unbiased, ethical support and information and endeavor to facilitate amicable remediation, prevention and education.

​

Each complaint is treated on a case-by-case and legal advice may be recommended.

​

The NZ Board of Professional Skin Therapies also works co-operatively with local health boards, local authorities, the Health and Disabilities Commission and DHBs to ensure therapists standards are developed and maintained.  By sharing your complaints and experiences with us we can improve our evidence-based advocacy services with authorities to professionalism, safety and competency of ethical treatment delivery.

“The NZ Board of Professional Skin Therapies (NZBPST) gave me guidance and unbiased information and advice at a hugely distressing time when I didn't know who I could turn to or trust.
 
The NZBPST walked me through my options as an individual, after being seriously harmed by a Beauty Therapist.  They provided me with unwavering care, genuine support and made themselves available to me whenever I needed them.
 
I am endlessly thankful for their time and expertise.  Because of their input, I felt empowered to take action in resolving my case to meet the outcomes I was after."
