Under current legislation, all food handlers need to have adequate food safety skills and knowledge when preparing food for sale. More information on food handling skills and knowledge is available on the Food Standards website.
The City’s Health Officers routinely check the knowledge of food handlers on topics such as safe food temperature, hand hygiene, stock control, methods of cleaning and sanitising and will also observe staff skills during inspections. Health Services can also conduct training for food handlers on the requirements of current food legislation.
The City Supports the
FoodSafe® Food Handler Training Program. This program is an introduction program for food handlers. It is an in-house training program that brings food hygiene and safety information directly to businesses through training and implementation of record keeping. It is highly recommended as a way of ensuring that your business is meeting the obligations to produce safe food.
The training component can be accessed through
