- Laser Clinics Australia describes a partnership model in which the franchisee and the company share the costs and profits of a clinic.
- The company has published an initial investment of roughly $290,000 to $330,000 for a new clinic, plus franchise fees.
- Because you share ownership, read the partnership terms as closely as the clinic numbers.
Laser Clinics Australia has been operating since 2008 and offers laser hair removal, skin and injectable treatments from clinics typically located in shopping centres. Its franchise is unusual: rather than the franchisee owning the whole clinic, the company describes a partnership in which it shares the investment and the profit with the franchisee, who also works in the business as the clinic’s nominated manager.
That structure changes what you are buying. This guide explains the model, what has been published about the investment, and the points we would test before you sign.

How the Laser Clinics Australia model works financially
Clinic revenue comes from treatments, much of it sold as courses or memberships. That creates a timing issue: cash may be received before the treatments are delivered, so a clinic can hold a liability to clients for prepaid sessions. Staff costs are significant, because clinicians need training and, for some treatments, specific qualifications.
Under a partnership, your return has two parts: the manager’s salary for working in the clinic and your share of profit. Consumables, equipment finance or leasing, rent and royalties all sit ahead of that profit share. Understanding how the partnership agreement allocates costs and decisions is essential.
The numbers to test before you buy a Laser Clinics Australia franchise
- The partnership agreement: profit share, who controls key decisions, and how either side can exit.
- Prepaid treatments and memberships outstanding, and how they are treated on a sale.
- Clinician wages and qualifications as a share of revenue.
- Equipment ownership, finance or leasing, and replacement cycles.
- Treatment mix and margin, especially between laser, skin and injectable services.
- Occupancy costs and the remaining lease term.
Buying an existing Laser Clinics Australia clinic
Resale listings for established clinics have appeared at several hundred thousand dollars plus stock. When buying an existing clinic you are usually buying a share of a partnership, so confirm exactly what interest is being sold and what the company’s consent and pre-emptive rights are. Ask for monthly profit and loss statements, a schedule of unredeemed prepaid treatments and the clinic’s staffing history.
