Regulated premises - skin penetration services

Businesses providing skin penetration services must register with Bayside Council, pay a fee, and be compliant at the time of routine inspections. 

You must also update us if your business changes name, proprietor, or ABN details. 

A skin penetration procedure is any procedure (medical or not) that involves:  

  • Acupuncture  
  • Tattooing  
  • Body piercing, including ear piercing 
  • Hair removal (waxing or electrolysis) 
  • Penetration of a mucous membrane. 

We will inspect your premises to ensure it is maintained in a clean and hygienic condition, and appropriate hygienic facilities are provided. 

A registration fee applies to recover the costs of our safety inspection services, which helps keep people safe and healthy.
