Australian nationally accredited online food safety certificate

Food safety is nationally legislated by the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 which provides for the operation of a statutory authority known as Food Standards Australia New Zealand.

The Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) developed by this authority contains an individual standard for food safety practices. These units of competency comply with the legislative requirements for food safety and safe food handling practices as outlined in the Code.

The legislative requirement for a business to comply with the national standard for food safety practices, along with training and certification requirements, differ between state and territory governments.

In some cases food handlers and especially designated food safety supervisors, may be required to formally achieve competence in implementing safe food handling practices through a registered training organisation that must use this unit as the basis for their training.

These online courses apply to hospitality, commercial catering, and retail venues where food is stored, prepared, displayed, served, and disposed of. It applies to venues that operate a permanent or temporary kitchen or smaller food preparation area, including restaurants, cafes, clubs, hotels, attractions, events and conference venues, fast food restaurants, retail food outlets such as sandwich shops and food court outlets. It would apply to tour operators involved in the preparation and service of food at temporary sites.

Other industries will need to access industry specific food safety units of competency.

Safe food handling practices are based on policies and procedures outlined in an organisation food safety program. The program and its procedures would normally be based on the hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) method but this unit can apply to other food safety systems.

These online training courses apply to frontline operational personnel who work under supervision and guidance and operate within predefined organisational food safety procedures.

This function is undertaken by a diverse range of people, such as kitchen hands, cooks, chefs, catering staff, food and beverage attendants, housekeeping and, laundry staff, sandwich hands, cafe and fast food outlet cooking crew and sales people and owner operators of small business catering operations or retail food outlets.
