Brazilian Waxing Course in Australia (SHBBHRS011)
Intimate waxing is one of the most requested — and most repeat — services in any waxing salon. Clients rebook every few weeks, so once you are skilled and confident, it becomes a reliable source of income. But it is also a service where technique, comfort and hygiene really matter, which is why proper training counts. Here is what a Brazilian waxing course involves and how to get qualified.
What is a Brazilian waxing course?
A Brazilian waxing course trains you to safely and hygienically remove hair from the intimate area, quickly and with minimal discomfort for the client. It combines theory (skin, hygiene, contraindications) with hands-on practice so you can deliver a clean, professional result and keep clients coming back.
Is it nationally recognised?
Yes. The nationally recognised unit is SHBBHRS011 – Provide female intimate waxing services, listed on training.gov.au. Note that this unit can only be completed by people aged 18 or over. At ACBNT you can train in female intimate waxing services.
What you’ll learn
- Intimate waxing techniques for a safe, comfortable, thorough result
- Client consultation, skin analysis and contraindications
- Health, hygiene and infection-control procedures and standard precautions
- Personal hygiene, presentation and professional conduct
- Correct product use, and safe waste disposal
- Managing client comfort and privacy
Do you need a licence?
There is no special licence to perform waxing in Australia, but you must be 18 or over for the intimate-waxing unit, follow strict hygiene and infection-control practices, hold public liability insurance, and comply with your local council’s requirements. Recognised training makes you more employable and gives clients confidence.
Why add intimate waxing to your services?
Intimate waxing is quick to perform, needs minimal product, and generates strong repeat business — making it one of the higher-margin waxing services. It builds naturally on general waxing skills; see our guide on how to become a waxing specialist. A beauty foundation such as a Certificate III in Beauty Services makes you even more versatile.
