Food Safety Supervisor Certification: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn if your food business requires a certified supervisor and what the training process involves for Australian food business owners.

This certification ensures that a trained individual is present to manage food safety standards within a food business.

Who it's for

This is for food business owners who need to meet legal requirements, such as those running a cafe. At least one person in the cafe must hold this qualification.

What you get

Once completed, you receive a certification that satisfies the legal requirement for operating a food business.

What it costs you

You will need to pay course fees, which typically range from $200 to $500 AUD. You also need to set aside one to two days to complete the required training.

The catch to know

Certificates are not permanent. They eventually expire, so you must keep track of your renewal dates to remain compliant.

How to apply

  1. Find a qualified training provider through a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
  2. Enroll in the required food safety supervisor course.
  3. Complete the training sessions and any necessary assessments.
  4. Receive your certificate upon successful completion.
