Why Choose the Australian Academy of Beauty Dermal and Laser?

Where Excellence, Elegance, and Opportunity Meet

For over 45 years, the Australian Academy of Beauty Dermal and Laser (RTO 90094) has been at the forefront of beauty therapy education in Australia — shaping industry leaders and inspiring confident, skilled professionals to follow their passion.

With full government accreditation and approval for VET Student Loans, we make high-quality education accessible. Plus, with direct university pathways to leading institutions like Western Sydney University and Southern Cross University, your qualifications here can take you even further — from advanced degrees to exciting international internships.

Our story began in 1980 in Baulkham Hills, led by visionary CEO Suzanne Campbell, a pioneer in the evolution of beauty education in Australia. Suzanne has played a pivotal role in shaping national training standards — from having her own course government-accredited in 1996, to helping develop Australia’s first national beauty training package in 1999, and now consulting with Service and Creative Skills Australia (SaCSA) to ensure training remains world-class and future-focused. She also is a leader in industry knowledge having founded and started many clinics over the years and also developed world class Skin care lines for the very specific needs of Australian skins.

We were proud to be one of the first institutions in NSW to offer VET FEE HELP back in 2010 — and we continue to lead the way, offering Diploma-level education with financial support and real career pathways.

Meet Our CEO

Suzanne Campbell

From the moment Suzanne opened her very first salon in 1980, she knew she had found her calling. What began as a passion for exceptional skin treatments soon grew into something far greater — mentoring others, building futures and shaping Australia’s beauty industry.

That passion became the foundation for the Australian Academy of Beauty Dermal and Laser, and over 45 years later, it remains at the heart of everything we do.
