Hair, Beauty and Skin Penetration Businesses
If you are planning to operate a hair, beauty or skin penetration business, it is important that you are aware of the health risks, regulations and Council requirements involved. Unsafe or unhygienic premises or procedures in these industries can put both customers’ and operators’ health at serious risk and can lead to the spread of infectious diseases. Under the Public Health Act 1991 and the Local Government Act 1993, Councils are required to maintain a register of these businesses. This register helps Council monitor and ensure compliance with the relevant legislation in order to reduce the potential health risks to the community.
