    It is always best to have to many credentials in case the issue ever arises. In construction, you can build 100 houses and then something happens and you loose a contract of a lifetime because you don't have a license and the other guy did.

    In your situation in a medical field, it is quite different I am sure. Especially in Australia. So my answer would be to advise you to get the license to be on the safe side. I have had things come back to haunt me before that makes me say "if I knew then what I know know."

    As far as I know, any sort of sticking anything in people, except sex, requires some sort of a license, probably medical. :D Even "down under".

    If you receive your payment through paypal, than you don't need a lincense. No tax pay to gov.

    If you receive your payment any other way, you will need a lincense and pay tax to the government on your sales.
