Get to know your council by-laws
Whether you have had your massage clinic up and running for a while, or are just setting your clinic up.
Please remember to keep in mind, your Local Council may have by-laws which you must abide by.
For example.
To open a massage clinic in Auckland you will require an Environmental Health Licence (Health Protection Licence). For information on how to obtain a health licence, you will need to speak with an Environmental Health Officer directly, available by phone via the Call Centre on (09) 379 2020 between 8.30am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday.
I know of someone unqualified practicing. What can I do?
Well, legally, there is nothing you can do. New Zealand does not have any form of regulation for the Massage or Aromatherapy industries.
It is up to the clients of the person involved to make enquiries with such people as to their qualifications and make complaints to appropriate authorities if any should arise.
