Jessica Maggs

NP

Jessica initially trained in Victoria as a Registered Nurse and, after a period in general nursing, focused on cardiac care. Following this, Jessica undertook a role as a Sales Executive representing the manufacturer of a range of high value Cardiac Imaging equipment. It was during this time that she completed her MBA in entrepreneurship and strategic management. Jessica found her MBA equipped her to develop strategies in the areas of sales and customer support as well as the ability to communicate focused marketing and sales strategies.

Later in her career, Jessica completed a Masters of Nursing Practice becoming one of the first in Victoria to be a qualified Cosmetic Nurse Practitioner.  Jessica finds immense fulfilment in restoring her client’s confidence in their appearance.  She enjoys the challenge of combining her extensive knowledge of anatomy with the right artistry, technique, and product to bring about a natural and refreshed appearance.

Jenna Brown

RN

Jenna has been a registered nurse since 2012 and has owned in partnership since 2020, a clinic on the South Coast of NSW. She commenced her career in Intensive Care and Plastics, prior to becoming a fulltime Nursing Officer in the Australian Army where she provided prehospital, primary health and aeromedical care.

Throughout her career, Jenna has worked for prominent clinics in Brisbane and Sydney and maintained employment external to aesthetics in her areas of interest. To this day, she remains concurrently employed as a Transitional Nurse Practitioner in a regional General Practice. In addition to holding graduate qualifications in cosmetic nursing from the Australasian Academy of Cosmetic Dermal Sciences (AACDS), Jenna has a Masters of Nurse Practitioner, a Bachelor of Applied Science (Human Biology), a Bachelor of Nursing and Graduate Certificates in Intensive Care and Community and Primary Healthcare. She has qualifications in mass incident management, trauma care and aviation medicine, as well as professional certificates in dermatology, integrated health, skin cancer medicine, chronic care and female health. She is vaccination accredited and also accredited by NSW Family Planning to provide cervical screening and Implanon.

After almost a decade spent in the military, Jenna believes in equity and accessibility when it comes to health-based services. A belief that quality health-based services should be available and affordable irrespective of their harbour is a philosophy that motivates her. Jenna joins the CNA in a governance role, with a particular interest in advancing professional standards, supporting evidence-based practice, and strengthening the public and interdisciplinary perception of cosmetic nursing in Australia. She hopes her contribution will help foster a balanced, credible, and respected understanding of the specialty — one that recognises both its clinical rigor and its role within the broader healthcare landscape.
