Hairdressing, Beauty, and Skin Penetration

Registering your Business

If your business performs any of the following procedures: acupuncture, tattoos, body piercing, hair removal (including waxing, electrolysis etc), semi-permanent makeup, or any beauty treatment that involves the deliberate removal of the skin, you must register your business with Council.

Please note that the procedures carried out in the practice of a registered medical practitioner do not come under this skin penetration regulation.

Inspections

To protect public health and safety, Environmental Health Officers do random audits on a proportion of registered premises each year. These inspections check that businesses are operating appropriately and in compliance with the State guidelines.

Licences, Regulations and Permits

Other than registering your business with Council, you need also ensure that your business observes the relevant legislation. For information on guidelines and codes of best practice, go to NSW Health - Body Decoration and Grooming
