Why do you need to register your business?
In Victoria, you need to register any accommodation business with your local council.
We check that your business aligns with the Public Health and Wellbeing (Prescribed Accommodation) Regulations 2020 and any other standards to ensure that you:
- meet hygiene, maintenance and other standards and requirements
- minimise public health risks from the shared use of facilities, high turnover of occupants and/or overcrowding.

- hotels and motels
