Food Safety Training

The owners of food businesses are responsible for ensuring that staff who handle food or who supervise this work have the skills and knowledge they need to handle food safely. Food businesses in South Australia will have until December 2003 to meet the skills and knowledge requirements.

The Department, in conjunction with industry organisations, has prepared Industry fact sheets that will help businesses to work through food handling activities and identify food safety issues and further training requirements.

Formal training is not required and businesses can choose the approach that best suits their needs. However, should businesses wish to organise formal training, a list of course providers is available online (link below).

Some local councils may also provide training sessions or resources. To identify the Local Government Authority (Council) responsible for a particular suburb or town in South Australia, use our COUNCIL FINDER database.

NOTE:

The Training Organisations identified in the attached listing are registered by the South Australian Accreditation and Registration Council (ARC) to deliver accredited training in Food Processing and related Training Packages. Food businesses are free to choose any organisation from this list and to negotiate training to meet their needs. Through the ARC registration processes, food businesses can be assured that the quality of training provided by any of these Training Organisations meets the standards prescribed under the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF).
