Beauty and Hairdressing Businesses

Learn what’s needed to start a beauty or hairdressing business in Kwinana. Follow health regulations, notify the City, and use helpful checklists to guide your application.

Skin Penetration and Beauty Therapy

Skin penetration procedures involve cutting, puncturing, or breaking the skin or mucous membrane. This includes services like tattooing, body piercing, beauty treatments, and acupuncture.

Skin penetration premises offering these services must follow the  Health (Skin Penetration Procedures) Regulations 1998 and the  Code of Practice for Skin Penetration Procedures to reduce the risk of infection.

If you plan to run a skin penetration business, you must notify the City of Kwinana. This does not apply to medical professionals like doctors, dentists, podiatrists, or nurses registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. To notify the City, complete a notification form for skin penetration premises and include detailed plans of your setup.

There are specific design and setup requirements for treatment areas. For example, there must be a hands-free handwash basin with hot and cold water, soap, and paper towels in the treatment area. For home-based setups, a portable basin or a room with direct access to a handwash basin (e.g., an ensuite) is acceptable.

Before applying, review the Checklist for Starting a Skin Penetration Business and read the Guide to Construction, Fit-out and Operation of a Skin Penetration Premise.

Hairdressing Premises

Under the new Public Health Act 2016 (WA) the Hairdressing Establishment Regulations 1972 have been repealed and replaced with the Guideline for the management of public health risks associated with the hairdressing and barber industry.

Under these guidelines, there is no requirement for the City’s Health Services to approve or routinely inspect hairdressing establishments. Please note, that there may be other requirements with the City’s Planning Department and or Building Department.

Hairdressers are advised to carefully read and follow the guidelines
