Jo Hannah is a highly respected leader and innovator in the Australian aesthetics industry, with over a decade of experience spanning pharmaceuticals, medical aesthetics, corporate governance, and business strategy. As the CEO and Founder of Salus Aesthetic Group, Jo is on a mission to transform the way clinics, injectors, and skin professionals in Western Australia access innovation, education, and support.
Her career began in 2010 with Allergan, one of the most recognised pharmaceutical companies in aesthetics, where she quickly established herself as a trusted professional with a strong commercial understanding of the sector. Over the years, Jo has built an unrivalled and diverse career path, working across clinical, operational, and executive leadership roles, each adding depth to her expertise and insight into the unique challenges faced by clinics and practitioners.
One of Jo’s most notable career highlights was her role as CEO of Total Face Group, the first aesthetics company to be listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). In this position, Jo gained invaluable experience in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), corporate governance, compliance frameworks, scalable solutions, and growth strategies designed to support sustainable business outcomes. This role not only solidified her reputation as a strategic leader but also gave her a rare, board-level perspective on the direction and future of the industry.
Today, as CEO of Salus Aesthetic Group, Jo has turned her attention to building a future-proof platform for the Western Australian aesthetic community, a region she believes has long been undervalued and under-supported compared to the eastern states. Salus is more than a distribution business – it is a digital ecosystem built to meet the needs of a booming skin health and aesthetics market.
The Salus mission is clear: to fuel growth, celebrate expertise, and set a new standard for what is possible in the industry. By providing streamlined access to products, events, and education, Salus is creating a community-driven approach that empowers clinics to thrive. The platform simplifies purchasing, rewards loyalty, and fosters stronger connections between practitioners, suppliers, and educators.
Salus was founded with a strong “WA supporting WA” ethos, reflecting Jo’s belief in strengthening local industries and investing back into the community. In an era where many clinics feel overwhelmed by constant change and increasing competition, Jo and her team are working to provide the tools, knowledge, and relationships that create real business resilience.
By combining global best practices with a deep understanding of local market needs, Jo is setting a new benchmark for what success looks like in the aesthetics and skin health sector. Her vision is to create a self-sustained ecosystem where innovation, education, and collaboration drive long-term growth for practitioners and business owners alike.
With her proven track record in leadership and her passion for empowering others, Jo continues to be a driving force in shaping the future of aesthetics in Australia. Her work with Salus reflects not just her commitment to innovation, but also her unwavering belief in community, collaboration, and raising industry standards.
At Aesthetic Business Masters Perth 2025, Jo will share her insights on building sustainable clinic success, creating future-ready business strategies, and why local communities like WA can thrive when given the right support.
