Changes to Hairdressing Licensing

Under the new Hairdressers Act 2003, starting 1 September, only hairdressers who have achieved a Certificate III in Hairdressing from an accredited training provider, have trade recognition from the Vocational Training Tribunal or those who previously held a licence will be allowed to practise.

Hairdressing licenses are no longer required.

The Certificate III is a qualification developed by the hairdressing industry and recognised by all state governments under national hairdressing competency standards.

People under 21 years will also need to be undertaking or have completed an apprenticeship or hold trade recognition from the Vocational Training Tribunal to legally practise.

For more information about accredited hairdressing courses please contact the Vocational Education and Training Accreditation Board on 9244 5335. For information on apprenticeships and trade training phone the Department of Education on 13 28 11.
