NEWSTEAD AESTHETICS · MAY 2026

Where you are. Where this could go.

A strategic plan and discovery document, written for Bobbie. Not a sales pitch. A direction document, drafted by Nathan, May 2026.

What this document is

Read it at your own pace.
Mark it up. Tell me what hits
and what doesn't.

This isn't a proposal. There are no prices in here. Nothing for you to sign, no timelines for you to commit to. It's a plan I've put together after a deep look at where your clinic sits in the Brisbane market right now, what's working, what isn't, what your competitors are doing, and what I think we could do together if you wanted to push. I'm also going to build you a fresh website out of this. The strategy doc shapes what goes on it.

There's a section near the end called "What we need from you." That's the discovery half. Twenty questions designed to be answered however you want. Some are yes or no. Some are conversations. None of them are tests.

There's also a section called "How motivated are you." Be honest in that one. If you're a five right now we don't fire any of this. If you're an eight we fire a smaller version. If you're a ten we go.

Take your time with it. We'll sit down after you've read it through and you tell me where you land.

The Market · Where you actually sit

$4.1 billion.
Compounding at twenty
percent a year.

Australia's cosmetic injectables market hit $4.1 billion in 2023 and every analyst forecasts it compounds between 19 and 28 percent a year through 2030. The trajectory check is straightforward. The market was $1 billion in 2016. It's $4.1 billion now. Four times the size in seven years.

Queensland's slice

Queensland holds roughly $800 million to $1 billion of that pie. The QLD nurse-led share alone is between $500 and $600 million. You're operating inside the most valuable slice of the second-most-valuable state-level market in the country. Queenslanders spend $494 a year per active customer on skin volumisation and rejuvenation, ahead of every other state except Western Australia.

The Newstead postcode tailwind

The 4006 postcode that wraps Newstead, Bowen Hills, Fortitude Valley and Herston is the densest concentration of high-income young professional women in inner Brisbane. Median age 31. Median household income in Newstead itself sits at $2,250 a week. Nearly half the postcode are professionals and managers. Two thirds are couples without children or single-person households. Apartment medians are climbing 11 to 13 percent year on year.

You're not just in a rich postcode. You're in the postcode that's getting richer faster than the rest of Brisbane, sitting in the most valuable slice of the second most valuable state market for what you do, in a country that gets injected at four times the rate of the United States.

Why Now · The regulatory reset

Eighty percent
of your competitors
are off-side.

Three reform packages went live in 2025 that reset the rules for cosmetic injectables advertising in Australia. AHPRA's non-surgical cosmetic procedures guideline took effect September 2nd. AHPRA's advertising guideline went live the same day. The TGA tightened Schedule 4 advertising in March 2024 and modified it again January 2026. Queensland Health clarified drug-custody rules for nurse-led clinics in April 2025.

Most of your direct competitors are advertising in active violation of at least one of those guidelines as of right now. You are clean across all of them.

What's banned that they're still doing
Testimonials
Patient testimonials referencing regulated treatments are banned outright. Includes reposting praise on Stories, liking patient compliments, replying to patient social posts.
Before/after
Standardised lighting, angle, framing required. No filters. No retouching. "Before" must be the most prominent image, never the "after." Variability warning mandatory on every outcome image.
Schedule 4 brand names
Botox, Dysport, Juvederm, Restylane and the class terms (anti-wrinkle, wrinkle relaxer, dermal filler, lip filler) are all caught. Price lists for these classes are unlawful.
Banned language
"Artist," "sculptor," "magic hands," "perfect," "world's best," "doll-maker," "barbie." All explicitly listed in the September 2025 guideline.
Banned imagery
Beach, poolside, bed, bedroom, hotel room, oiled bodies, lingerie, montages, music, dancing, thumbs-up, patients crying with happiness.
QLD drug custody (April 2025)
Nurse-led clinics cannot hold injectable stock onsite without a doctor or NP in exclusive custody of the medicines. This is the existential one.

Enforcement is live

A Queensland nurse had her registration cancelled in January 2026 and was banned until September 2027 for injecting botulinum toxin without a doctor consult or script and continuing to practise while suspended. Another QLD-based individual received two TGA infringement notices totalling $7,716 in December 2025 for unlawful import and unlawful injectable advertising. Between September 2022 and March 2025, AHPRA investigated about 360 notifications related to non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

AHPRA's CEO, on the day the new advertising guideline took effect: "Practitioners have been warned. If we find practitioners prioritising profits over patient care, we will not hesitate to act."

You are one of a small handful of Brisbane operators who could survive an unannounced AHPRA spot-audit on your social channels tomorrow. The clean operator has a real window of unique positioning before competitors learn the new rules and clean up. The restraint is the moat. The work in this document is built around scaling your existing voice, never introducing a louder one.

The Empty Lane · Competitor analysis

The audience walking out of
the loud clinics is looking
for someone like you.

We mapped fourteen direct competitors across the Brisbane inner-north catchment — Newstead, New Farm, Fortitude Valley, Teneriffe, James Street precinct, Petrie Terrace, Hamilton, Ascot, Bulimba. Each one scored against you on threat level (1 to 5), credentialling, treatment scope, AHPRA compliance posture, male-cohort positioning, and price tier. Below is the dirty read. The structural finding: not a single Brisbane operator runs your exact configuration cleanly. Doctor-backed, nurse-led, AHPRA 2025-clean, regenerative-stack-anchored, two-clinic, 23-year RN, Clinical Trainer for Juv'ae. Every element of that lane is true of you. None of them are surfaced on your current homepage above the fold. The work is naming the lane.

Tier S · Five-star threats

Five clinics that fish your exact patient pool. Each one wins on at least one axis you can't out-fight, and loses on at least one axis where you can.

Aesthetics By Boss Shae Petersen RN · Hamilton · 8 min drive · nurse-led solo boutique

The structural mirror nobody talks about. Solo cosmetic nurse, single-room boutique, "Trusted Care" positioning, sage-green and natural palette, founder-as-face. About two to three years in. Education-led blog (April 2026 posts dense). Heavy SEO play. Complimentary consult funnel. 1,172 followers on Instagram. ABN 68 510 220 626.

Your counterYou out-credential her on every dimension. 23 years RN, Clinical Trainer for Juv'ae, two clinics, press footprint. She has none of those. The risk isn't that she beats you head-to-head. The risk is that the Newstead-Hamilton client finds her blog before she finds your website (yours is hidden from Google right now). The SEO fix in Section 7 closes that gap directly.

Beauty Boost Samara Searle RN · Teneriffe · 1km from you · nurse-led multi-team

Established around 2018. Nurse-led boutique with a multi-nurse team. Currently hiring an additional Cosmetic RN. "Skin integrity and facial harmony" clinical-language polish. Strong Teneriffe local brand. Timely booking. Mandatory consult gate. Gift vouchers. The geographic and structural mirror.

Your counterWhere Eleventh Heaven beats you on credentials, Beauty Boost neutralises your nurse moat by offering the same model 800 metres away. Your edge here is the Clinical Trainer credential plus the 23-year RN tenure plus the press footprint. Samara has none of those. The work is making sure the discerning Teneriffe client sees those credentials before she walks into Beauty Boost out of geographic convenience.

Body Dezign House Dr Fatemeh Asadi · Newstead · neighbouring address · doctor-led, broad menu

3/104 Breakfast Creek Road. Your clients drive past her clinic to reach you. 25 years GP, 20 years cosmetic physician. Service menu literally twice the size of yours: Cristal fat freezing, diode laser hair removal, wrinkle treatments, fillers, Morpheus 8, Ultherapy, thread lift, micro-needling, chemical peel, PRP, Healite II LED, Aviclear acne laser, Lumecca, vascular and pigmentation laser. Multi-site (Newstead + Cleveland). Zenoti booking. Afterpay + Zip Pay front-and-centre.

Your counterYou cannot out-service her. You can out-relationship her, out-AHPRA-comply her, and own the "nurse who tells you what you don't need" positioning that no broad-menu doctor-led clinic can credibly run. The patient who wants thirty treatments goes to Body Dezign. The patient who wants the right two goes to you.

Eleventh Heaven Dr Ricky Sia · Teneriffe · doctor-led luxe · explicit male vertical

MBChB, FCPCA. Vice President of the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia. Key Opinion Leader for Merz Aesthetics, Sciton, MINT Threads. The closest brand voice to yours in the catchment — verbatim positioning: "Quiet luxury. Evidence-informed facial harmony. Refined, natural-looking outcomes." BBL HEROic, HALO laser, MOXI laser, Ultherapy PRIME, NeoGraft FUE hair transplant. The only competitor in your catchment with explicit male-treatment positioning. Black/cream luxe palette.

Your counterThree angles. One: Dr Sia is a man in a category where 95 percent of cosmetic-nurse clients are women shopping for relational intimacy as much as clinical outcome. Your 23-year RN tenure plus Clinical Trainer status is the precise counter. Two: you operate two clinics — the "I'm not a chain, I'm a clinician with two homes" story is uncontested in the corridor. Three: you can occupy the nurse-led male slot beneath him for the price-conscious or approachability-conscious male patient he doesn't fish.

Ascension Cosmetic Medicine Dr Scott Allison · New Farm · doctor-led, verified press · luxury anchor

MBBS, BSC, MSC, MPH, FRACGP, FCPCA. International trainer. AviClear, CO2 laser, Clarius Ultrasound-guided injecting, PicoSure Pro, Ultraformer HIFU, WonderFace, Morpheus 8, FaceTite, Tixel, Rejuran, HydraFacial, TruSculpt, Augustinus Bader Method Facial. Sole Augustinus Bader spa partner in QLD — a top-of-market skincare anchor. Press: Vogue, 9News logos, with verifiable editorial placements. Award: "Best Medi Spa 2022."

Your counterTwo separate questions. How do you out-position Ascension on the regenerative stack (where you lead on Rejuran, PRX-PLUS, Bio Remodelling and have practitioner-trainer authority on those treatments)? And how do we audit your press logos so you're never standing in his press lane without backup? The press-logo conversation in Section 11 protects you from the second risk.

Tier A · Four-star threats

Two clinics that compete on adjacent ground rather than mirror ground. They take patients you could have taken, but not by being like you. By being something different.

Angel Aesthetics Sylvia Crouch RN · New Farm + Bundall + South Perth + Dubai · nurse-led chain

Nurse-led across four locations. Won "Best Cosmetic Clinic Queensland" at the Australian Business Enterprise Awards 2020 to 2023. 22,000+ treatments per year, biggest volume claim in the catchment. Featured in WHO Magazine, BeautyCrew, Style Magazine. Voted "Brisbane's Best Cosmetic Clinic" two years running. Wedding-anchor positioning ("Angel Ties The Knot"). "The Angel Technique" branded filler approach. "Ethical enhancement" repeated. Inclusive ethnicity and gender language. Package-led pricing.

Your counterYou are not Angel and shouldn't try to be. Angel is the nurse-led chain you are structurally not. Angel wins on packages, awards, and scale. You win on intimacy and the one-nurse-knows-your-face story. Angel cannot credibly run the "your nurse for the next twenty years" positioning. You can.

Inigo Cosmetic James Street, Fortitude Valley · doctor-led · luxury retail brand

"Premier cosmetic clinic." Korean Sculpt and Glow package aligned to the current TikTok Korean-aesthetic trend. James Street precinct, the highest-traffic luxury retail strip in Brisbane. Buy 4 get 5th free promotional structure. Multi-team. Korean Titanium Lifting Facial, Korean Glassifier bio-microneedling, dermal analysis, vitamin infusions, body contouring, skin treatments. Cosmetic-medicine doctor at the top of the pyramid.

Your counterDifferent psychographic. The aspirational client who treats aesthetics as a luxury-retail purchase walks into Inigo on the same day she walks into Aje or Camilla and Marc. Your positioning is the opposite frame. Not a luxury-retail moment. A clinical relationship.

Tier B · Worth tracking

Adjacent clinics that don't compete head-on but operate in the same corridor. The one worth naming explicitly is The Manor Clinic because their brand voice is closest to yours and the heritage-property angle is a real differentiator.

The Manor Clinic Petrie Terrace · ~10 min drive · doctor-led, heritage premium

Brisbane's only stand-alone Victorian terrace house clinic, built around 1874. Doctor-led with a small curated specialist team. Multi-year award winner. Premium tier. Voice register near-identical to yours: "Where time slows and your natural beauty is embraced" / "natural-looking results."

Your counterThe heritage building is an experience moat you can't physically match (your Newstead clinic is co-tenanted with a dental practice, which works for clinical credibility but doesn't deliver the "destination" feel). The competitor lane for them is different from yours because their geography is different. Track them, don't fight them directly.

How you compare on the dimensions that matter

Side-by-side on the six axes that decide which clinic the discerning Newstead/Teneriffe patient picks. Green where you win, neutral where you compete, red where you can't out-fight.

The male audience nobody else is running for

The Australian aesthetics industry has gone from five percent male to fifteen to twenty percent male in the last five years and is still climbing. The global male aesthetics market is forecast to double from USD $5.9 billion to USD $11.8 billion by 2034. Postcode 4006 is 51.4% male, 48.6% female. The actual catchment is statistically male-equal.

Of your direct competitors, only Eleventh Heaven runs explicit male positioning, and they're doctor-led at the top of the price tier. The nurse-led, AHPRA-clean, regenerative-stack-anchored male slot beneath them is wide open. Your existing menu already supports it: Exomide for hair restoration, truSculpt for body contouring, sub-mental fat injection and jawline work for the inner-Brisbane male professional cohort, 35 to 55. You already see at least six male long-term patients (David, Ross, Bernard, Matthew, Jason, James are all visible in your Google reviews). Your content just doesn't show them.

This is covered as a discrete play in Section 7, and threaded through the ad spend tiers, shoot day, roadmap and discovery questions.

What every loud clinic in the catchment runs that you don't

Schedule 4 brand names in captions and stories. Patient testimonials on regulated treatments. Before-and-after on regulated treatments without standardised lighting. Influencer collabs without practitioner-side compliance review. Class-name terms with published price lists. "Anti-wrinkle injection" with prices attached. Voting on "most preferred outcome." Beach, bedroom, oiled-body imagery. Banned language: "artist," "sculptor," "perfect," "world renowned."

You don't run any of it. The lane is yours. The work is making the audience who's been burned by the loud clinics find you before they find your competitors.

Honest read of your current marketing

What's working.
What isn't.
No spin.

What's working
  • Your Instagram voice is yours. Restrained. Compliant. Distinctive. ~3.86 posts a week, near-daily consistency.
  • Reels carry your engagement. Top reels in the audit window hit 1,200+ plays, 65 likes, well ahead of static carousels.
  • Your National Clinical Trainer status for Juv'ae is the single biggest credibility lever you have.
  • Patient relationships run deep. Google reviews show patients of 5+ years who write paragraphs about you.
  • Your AHPRA compliance posture is the cleanest in the catchment. Zero violations across 90 days of captions reviewed.
  • Your Bio Remodelling, PRX-PLUS, Rejuran and microneedling-with-exosomes stack puts you ahead of every doctor-led competitor on regenerative skin science.
What isn't working
  • Your website is invisible to Google. There's a setting on every page that tells search engines not to index you. One toggle. It's been on through every page since launch.
  • You're paying for Google Ads while Google itself can't read your site.
  • No Meta Pixel installed. You can't track conversions from any social ad you'd run.
  • No TikTok. Open white space. The under-35 cosmetic-curious audience lives there.
  • Reach is declining since February. Your top reels are from earlier in the year. Recent April reels are pulling a fifth of the views.
  • No patient-voice content in any form across 90 days, even though three of your loyal patients have left strong written testimonials on Google.
  • Your Clinical Trainer credential is buried in your Instagram bio. It's not on your homepage. It's the biggest credibility lever you have and it's two lines from the bottom of your bio.
  • Your captions read agency-produced. The words "thoughtful," "considered," "tailored," "subtle," "nuanced" appear across nearly every post. That's an agency tell, not your voice.
  • The Vogue, 7News, Byrdie and New Beauty logos on your homepage need verification. We need to sit down on this.
  • Your content reads female-only. Not just female-skewed. Every visual, every hashtag stack, every implicit framing signals "this clinic is for women." You see male patients (David has been with you multi-year, and there are six male reviewers in your Google reviews) but they're invisible at the brand surface. The Australian male aesthetics market has tripled in five years and you're not visible to it.

Your brand is built. Voice is built. Visual is built. Compliance discipline is built. What's missing is the engine underneath. Organic search visibility, demand capture, paid layer, patient-voice content, TikTok distribution, and a visible signal that you also treat men.

Here's what we're doing

No pitch.
No options to weigh.
This is the work.

I'm building you a new website. We're running your social. We're running your ads. We're writing your captions, your hooks, your website copy. We're scaling the voice you've already built so every line that goes out the door sounds like you. Below is each move, why we're doing it, and why it works.

01
A new website Google can actually see

What we're doing: Building you a fresh site. Indexable from day one. Schema markup baked in so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews read who you are and surface you when patients ask "best cosmetic nurse Brisbane." Click-to-call on every page. Real contact form. Branded email address. Booking embed on the homepage. The lot.

Why we're doing it: Your current site has been hidden from Google since launch. One toggle. You've been paying for Google Ads while Google itself couldn't read your pages.

Why it worksThe new site goes live findable. The Ads you're already paying for stop competing with a closed door. AI search ("Hey Claude, find me a cosmetic nurse in Newstead") names you.

02
Lead the homepage with your Clinical Trainer credential

What we're doing: Homepage hero rewrites to "National Clinical Trainer, Juv'ae range." About page expands the 23 years RN tenure, Bachelor of Nursing, AHPRA clean register, training role.

Why we're doing it: Your biggest credibility lever is currently the second-last line of your Instagram bio. Doctor-led competitors out-credential you on paper. Clinical Trainer status is the closest nurse-equivalent to a Vice President of the Cosmetic Physicians College.

Why it worksDiscerning patients comparing you to Dr Sia or Dr Allison see credential parity at first glance instead of fifth.

03
Your social, looked after across every platform

What we're doing: We run Instagram, Facebook, and the new TikTok channel from one place. Scheduled, posted, managed. You don't touch the calendar unless you want to. Cross-platform content tailored per surface but locked to your voice.

Why we're doing it: Your engagement is 0.94 percent, below the category baseline. Reach is declining since February. The carousel format that doesn't work for you is still being posted. Your posting cadence is good, the strategy underneath isn't.

Why it worksOne person managing the calendar across every platform, with content that compounds because it's posted at the right time, in the right format, with the right hook for each platform.

04
TikTok, properly. Here's why you need it

What we're doing: Launch the TikTok channel. Repurpose your existing Reels content. Use TikTok's native duet and stitch features to appear alongside competitor viral content (AHPRA-safe corrections, you as the clinical filter). Trending sounds detected daily. Captions shaped for share, not for likes.

Why we're doing it (and you might not know this): TikTok isn't where teenagers dance anymore. It's where the 25 to 45 year old high-income professional women you treat go to research cosmetic clinics. The Australian aesthetics-on-TikTok audience tripled in two years. Your Brisbane competitors are sleeping on it or running it badly. The algorithm pushes new accounts hard in the first 90 days while you're being graded as a new creator. After that the window closes.

Why it worksThe "clinical filter" angle, you correcting loud-clinic content with the AHPRA rules behind you, is your entire positioning expressed as video. You don't have to dance. You just have to be present in the conversation patients are already having.

05
Captions, hooks, web copy, ad creative — all in YOUR voice

What we're doing: I'm setting up a voice profile from your existing captions, the way you write, the way you talk to patients in consults. Then every caption, every line of website copy, every email, every ad creative gets written through that voice. The AI writes drafts, I edit them, the voice profile keeps it locked to you.

Why we're doing it: Your current captions read agency-produced. "Thoughtful," "considered," "tailored," "nuanced" appear across every post. Patients pick up the tell. They scroll past. Your engagement reflects it.

Why it worksThis is new ground. Voice-modelling tools now exist that can train on someone's writing and reproduce it line-for-line. We bake your real voice into the pipeline and everything that comes out the other end sounds like you, not like an agency in your voice, not like ChatGPT in your voice. You.

06
A real paid ad layer, run from one place

What we're doing: Meta Pixel installed. Meta + Google + TikTok Spark + LinkedIn (for the practitioner-brand angle) all running from one dashboard. We scrape Eleventh Heaven's, Beauty Boost's, Body Dezign's and Ascension's public follower lists, upload them as custom audiences, and build 1 percent lookalikes off them. Your ads serve to people who already follow Brisbane cosmetic creators. Pre-warmed traffic.

Why we're doing it: You have no Pixel installed so you can't track conversions. Your demand capture layer is empty. You're spending on Google but no paid social. The catchment is highly targetable on Meta and we're not running it.

Why it worksWhen ads target people who already follow your competitors, conversion rate jumps. Cost per lead drops. Three tiers in Section 8, your call on the spend.

07
The male audience, finally visible

What we're doing: New male-readable section on the website (hair restoration via Exomide, jawline + sub-mental fat, body contouring via truSculpt). Dedicated hair-restoration landing page paired with a partner-GP for the oral pathway. Male-targeted Instagram highlight. Male content in the first batch. Male-keyword Google ad set. If David's up for a testimonial reel, he becomes the visual signal that breaks the female-only read.

Why we're doing it: Australian male cosmetic share went from 5 percent to 15 to 20 percent in five years. Of six clinics in your catchment, only Eleventh Heaven runs explicit male positioning. The nurse-led slot is wide open. Your menu (Exomide, truSculpt, sub-mental fat, jawline work) is already male-suitable. You already see male patients.

Why it worksA second cohort acquired without changing your voice, your moat, or your menu. Zero capex.

08
Lead magnet + email sequence

What we're doing: A gated educational guide (consultation-prep, or a GLP-1 / Ozempic-face explainer). Behind it sits a six-email nurture sequence written in your voice. Booking-friendly, never pushy.

Why we're doing it: Right now you're sending traffic to a booking page with no fallback. 95 percent of patients aren't ready to book the first time they find you. You need a way to stay in front of them while they think.

Why it worksAn email list compounds month after month, independent of any algorithm decision. The list you build this year still works next year.

09
Packages page surfacing what you already do

What we're doing: A page on the new site presenting your existing value packages: PRX-PLUS 3+1 at $1,050 (save $350), LED 6-pack at $435 (save $99), Bio Remodelling face + decolletage at $1,400 (save $300), Bio-Regeneration at $2,200. All non-Schedule-4. All TGA-safe to advertise.

Why we're doing it: These packages live inside your Timely booking dropdown and nowhere else. Real value, currently invisible.

Why it worksPatients see "I save $350" and average order value lifts automatically. No new SKUs, no new work for you, just surfacing what already exists.

Two more things sit on the list, both conversations rather than work to ship now. A gated before-and-after consent gallery (real conversion lever, highest AHPRA risk, not early work). A press logo audit (we sit down and verify your Vogue / 7News / Byrdie / New Beauty placements together, then either surface them properly or take them down). Both are in Section 11 as conversations to have.

The Ad Spend Question

Three tiers.
Spend to result,
side by side.

You're currently spending about $1,500 a month on ads through Eleve. You're also saving $1,500 a month by not paying Eleve a retainer. That gives us up to $3,000 a month of headroom without any new commitment from you. Three tiers below. The spend, the allocation, the realistic output. Your call.

Tier 1 · Maintenance
$1,500 a month

Matches your current spend with Eleve. The Eleve savings stay in your pocket.

65%
Meta retargeting + lookalike audiences from competitor follower scrapes
25%
Google branded + non-branded search ("cosmetic nurse Newstead", "AHPRA injector Brisbane")
10%
TikTok Spark Ads boosting organic Reels into paid distribution

Realistic monthly output~150,000 impressions in inner Brisbane catchment, ~2,500 link clicks, ~50 to 80 consultation enquiries. Modest growth. Maintains current position without much above it.

Tier 2 · Reinvest savings
$2,250 a month

Splits the Eleve savings. Half stays in your pocket, half goes back into the engine.

55%
Meta, heavier lookalike weight (new-customer acquisition)
20%
Google search + Performance Max
20%
TikTok Spark + creator-style ad creative
5%
LinkedIn for the practitioner-brand angle (Clinical Trainer surface)

Realistic monthly output~250,000 impressions, ~4,200 link clicks, ~85 to 120 consultation enquiries. Real growth, defensible against Beauty Boost and Body Dezign.

Male allocation: ~15% of Meta + 100% of LinkedIn spend targets the male cohort (Eleventh Heaven follower lookalike + male-keyword Google + Brisbane professional men on LinkedIn).

Tier 3 · Full pivot
$3,000 a month

Full reinvestment of the Eleve savings. Same monthly outflow as today, all of it working for you.

45%
Meta, balanced lookalike + retargeting + interest stacks
25%
Google search + Performance Max + local services
25%
TikTok Spark + creator-style + Topfeed inventory tests
5%
LinkedIn practitioner brand + targeted Brisbane professional women audiences

Realistic monthly output~360,000 impressions, ~6,000 link clicks, ~130 to 180 consultation enquiries. Aggressive growth. The tier that pushes hardest on new patient acquisition.

Male allocation: ~20% of Meta + 100% of LinkedIn + a dedicated male-keyword Google ad set targets the male cohort. Estimated ~60-80 of the monthly consultation enquiries are male at this tier.

If you want the engine running at full pace, Tier 3 is the call. If you want growth without the full commitment, Tier 2 is the safety net. Tier 1 is fine if you want maintenance with a tighter engine. None of these are locked in. We can start at Tier 2 and step up to Tier 3 once you see early data, or hold at Tier 1 indefinitely. Your call.

The Photos Question

Do you want a
photo shoot, or not?

Honest yes or no. Both answers work. Neither is wrong. Here's what each one looks like so you can decide.

No, work with what we have
Use existing photography

I work with whatever you can give me. Your existing Instagram feed, your current website photos, and whatever's in the Google Drive folder Eleve hasn't released yet. Once that Drive comes back to you we'll have a proper look at what's usable. Until then I work with what's public.

What we get
Honestly, neither of us knows yet. Depends what's in the locked Drive Eleve still hold.
Patient-voice reels
Not produced. Stays as a "maybe later" decision.
Cost
Zero additional production cost

Trade-offThe new site and content engine run on whatever we can pull together from existing assets. Visually, you stay where you are. No new visual signal for the male cohort.

Yes, do a shoot
Build a proper content library

One full day at your clinic with a photographer, videographer, and creative direction. AHPRA-safe framing locked in advance. A deep batch of new photography and three to five patient-voice testimonial reels, including at least one male testimonial reel if any of your long-term male patients (David is the obvious candidate) is up for it.

What we get
80 to 100 stills + 3 to 5 testimonial reels + 8 to 12 short-form clips + 1 long-form clinic film
Patient-voice reels
Three to five, AHPRA-safe framing. The single biggest content gap closed.
Repurpose runway
A deep library of static, carousel and reels content from one production day

Trade-offProduction cost on the day. In return, content nobody else in the catchment has, the patient-voice format your competitors legally can't run, and the male-cohort visual signal in one shoot.

If you want a proper differentiated content engine, a shoot is the more direct path. If you'd rather see the engine work first with what we have, "no shoot" is a real answer and we can revisit later. Tell me which feels right.

The Order Of Things · What fires when, in sequence

No timelines.
Just the order things
fire in.

Each phase compounds the next. Foundation first, then content, then paid, then capture, then authority. Each layer waits until the previous layer is in place. Pace is yours.

First
Foundation
  • The new website I'm building goes live, indexable from day one, with full on-page SEO + schema markup baked in
  • Site UX done properly from the start: click-to-call, contact form, branded email address, booking embed
  • Meta Pixel + Google Analytics 4 installed on launch
  • Homepage hero leads with the Clinical Trainer credential
  • About page expanded with the 23-year RN tenure narrative
  • Packages page surfacing PRX-PLUS, LED, Bio Remodelling bundles
  • Male wedge foundation: service-page section grouping male-suitable treatments under a male-readable header, male-targeted Instagram highlight, male-discovery hashtags on relevant posts
Then
Content engine
  • Photo and reel library bedded in (from your existing assets or from a shoot, depending on Section 9)
  • TikTok channel launches with a first batch of repurposed content
  • Trending-audio detection routine baked into the workflow
  • Caption rewrite across Instagram (share-driven format, AHPRA-safe, voice-of-Bobbie)
  • Patient-voice testimonial reels published (only if you said yes to the shoot), including at least one male testimonial reel
  • Male-readable educational reels in the first content batch (jawline, Exomide for men, truSculpt male body areas)
  • Visual brand audit adds male signals across the photography library
  • Scheduling pipeline consolidating Instagram + TikTok + Facebook
  • "Notification squad" identified and onboarded from your loyal patient cohort for the first-window engagement
After that
Paid layer
  • Competitor follower scrapes (Eleventh Heaven, Beauty Boost, Body Dezign, Ascension) into Meta custom audiences
  • 1% lookalike audiences built from those custom audiences (Eleventh Heaven's list is over-indexed male, treated as a separate male-cohort audience)
  • Ad creative cycle, AHPRA-safe framing. 15 to 20 percent of creatives feature male content angles or male-readable imagery.
  • Retargeting funnels live (Pixel data has accumulated by now)
  • GLP-1 / Ozempic-face wedge campaign launches with dedicated landing page
  • Hair restoration landing page goes live, paired with the male-targeted ad layer
  • Google Ads recalibrated against the now-findable site. Male-keyword ad set added ("cosmetic nurse for men Brisbane", "hair restoration Brisbane Exomide", "male jawline treatment Newstead", "truSculpt for men Brisbane")
Then
Demand capture
  • Lead magnet ships (consultation-prep guide and/or GLP-1 expectations guide)
  • Hair restoration lead magnet for the male cohort
  • Six-email nurture sequence written in your voice, launched
  • Consultation booking page optimisation against accumulated conversion data
  • Email list begins compounding (independent of any algorithm decision)
  • Comment-raiding routine layered onto competitor accounts (Bobbie as the clinical voice)
  • Partner-GP relationship formalised for the oral hair pathway (covers the script gap telehealth currently owns)
Finally
Authority
  • Industry awards submissions (legitimate ones with audited claims) for "Best Cosmetic Nurse Clinic QLD" and equivalents
  • Podcast appearance booking (industry podcasts, AHPRA-aware ones)
  • Editorial pitches to trade press (Aesthetic Medical Practitioner, Cosmetic & Beauty AU)
  • AFR-style follow-up pitch ("Why blokes are getting cosmetic nursing in Brisbane") to local press, extending the AFR 13 March 2026 article angle
  • Speaker submission to ASA Conference + ACN events
  • Press logo audit conversation (Section 11) resolved either way
  • End-of-phase report + recommendation on what's next

No clock on this. Each phase fires when the previous one is solid. Some phases take longer than others depending on the shoot question, your appetite for the ad spend tiers, and how much we want to push at each step. The pace stays yours.

What I Need From You

Short list.
Answer what you can,
flag the rest.

I've got your existing photos. I've got your current site to reference. I want to build you the new one fast. These are the questions that unlock that.

The new website
01
What do you like about your current site? Whatever should carry over in feel.
02
What don't you like? Sections, copy, photos, colours, layout, anything that's bugged you since launch. Be unvarnished, the new build is yours to shape.
03
What do you definitely want on the new one? Pages, features, a particular feel, things missing from the current site.
04
Brand references. Other clinic sites, fashion sites, hospitality sites, anything you've seen and thought "I want that feel." Send links or describe. The more the better. This is how I go hard on the design direction.
Your voice + the platforms
05
Where do you sit on the register? Do you want to say "fuck" in a reel if it lands, or stay more elevated and polished? Either's fine. Both are real positions. I just need to know which one is you.
06
Are you keen to do reels at all? Honest yes or no. If you'd rather not be on camera regularly, that changes what we do next (and it's a fine answer).
07
Do you want a TikTok presence? If you're not keen on reels, TikTok's probably out as well. If you are, I want to confirm you're up for it before we open the channel. Instagram-only is a real choice.
08
If yes to reels, what feels like you? Casual to camera. Scripted talking head. Voiceover with B-roll. Hand-detail clinical without you on screen. Mix? Tell me what feels natural.
09
What kind of content makes you cringe? Things you'd never post even if it'd work. This filters everything I write.
Quick logistics
10
Do you have domain login + control of newsteadaesthetics.com.au? If Eleve hold it, we sort that out.
11
Where are your brand files (logo, fonts, any brand manual)? On the Drive Eleve haven't released back to you yet, or somewhere you can pull from?
12
Press logos. The Vogue / 7News / Byrdie / New Beauty logos on your current homepage. Do you have the actual editorial pieces those came from? Even if they were aspirational rather than verified, no judgement, I just need to know. If verified we surface them properly. If not we take them down. Brand integrity protection.
13
Ad spend. Which tier feels right? $1,500 / $2,250 / $3,000 a month (Section 8).
Are you in

Go, hold,
or scrap.

Read all of this. Tell me where you sit. If you're in, we go. If you're not yet, tell me what'd get you there. If it's not for you at all, that's also a real answer.

Bobbie Thompson

Bobbie,

Your brand is built. Your voice is built. Your visual is built. Your compliance discipline is built.

What's missing is the engine underneath it. The search visibility, the demand capture, the paid layer, the patient-voice content, and the TikTok distribution that turns the work you're already doing into the audience you deserve.

The market is moving toward you. The regulatory reset just took most of your competitors off-side. The Newstead postcode is getting richer faster than the rest of Brisbane. The 2032 Olympics are coming. The under-35 prejuvenation entry tier is the fastest-growing patient segment in the country and it's exactly what you do.

You have a real window of unique positioning before your competitors learn the new rules. The plan in this document is built around using that window. If you want it, we go. If you want a quieter version, we calibrate to that. If now isn't the right time at all, that's also a real answer.

Read this at your pace. Mark it up. Tell me what hits and what doesn't. Answer the questions in Section 11 when you've got a minute (brand references especially — the more the better). Tell me where you land. We sit down after.

With love + a son's plan
