The Act requires registration to cover both the person carrying on the practice and the premises used for that purpose. If a business moves premises, you will need to reapply.
Application Process
There is an application fee which must be paid at the time an application is made. There is a seperate fee for the premises and the person. Full details are available on our fees and charges page.
Receipt of your completed application form and the appropriate fee(s) will be confirmed in writing, and an Officer from the Business Compliance Section will arrange a visit to check compliance with the byelaw requirements as well as ensuring that general health and safety requirements are being met.
It is in the public interest that the authority must process your application before it can be granted.
The registration when issued will remain in force until either the business ceases to exist or the registration is cancelled.
Local Byelaws
The practice of these treatments are controlled through compliance with byelaws, therefore once a certificate of registration has been issued you must then comply with the appropriate byelaws.
Is there a public register available?
No. The legislation does not require a register to be kept.
