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. 

You must check to see that your address is in the Bayside LGA before you start your application. The mapping tool will allow you to do an address or property search.

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.
