NSW Health has issued a public health alert warning the clients of a Sydney cosmetic clinic to get tested for blood-borne viruses “due to infection control breaches in the clinic” where people who were not registered health practitioners were performing invasive procedures.
Fresh Cosmetic Clinic is no longer operating at 630 George Street after South Eastern Sydney Local Health District’s public health unit inspected the clinic on 22 October and reviewed evidence from the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC).
