Personal Appearances Services (PAS) include hair dressing, beauty therapy or skin penetration procedures such as tatooing, body piercing or any other process by which the skin is penetrated and in which blood or other body fluid is an expected result.
The purpose of the Public Health (Infection Control for Personal Appearance Services) Act 2003 is to minimise the risk of infection that may result from the provision of personal appearance services. This Act requires Council to monitor the health standards of operations in such premises.
