What are the legislative requirements?
The Act requires all proprietors of all personal appearance services (including both higher risk and non-higher risk) to take all reasonable precautions and care to minimise the risk of infection to their clients, and to ensure all employees do the same.
Queensland Health has developed the booklet What Business needs to know about Personal Appearance Services to assist businesses in implementing measures to minimise the risk of infection.
