Sunshine Coast Council licence pages for personal appearance services
Sunshine Coast Council administers the personal appearance services Act in the Sunshine Coast local government area. Its own page is linked below, with the Queensland Act, Regulation and guidelines listed beside it.
Whether the Act reaches a particular service is for the council and the clinic’s own advisers to say, so this page lists and links only.

The state sources come from the ClinicTrace legislation and guidance register, which says how binding each one is and the version its publisher states.
This tool describes what you enter and links to each publisher’s own source. It is not legal advice and does not say whether a clinic meets any requirement.
