What the law asks of you, how the course works around your shifts, and how you’re assessed — including the one part that has to be shown, not just answered.

Does your café, restaurant or takeaway need a Food Safety Supervisor? In most of Australia — yes. It’s the law, and councils do check.
It’s Food Safety Standard 3.2.2A. If you handle unpackaged food, someone trained has to be reasonably available while you’re trading.
The supervisor makes sure food is stored, handled and cooked safely. Temperatures. Keeping raw and ready-to-eat apart. Cleaning. And what to do when something goes wrong.
Our course is completely online, and it works on your phone. Nothing to attend, no start date. It’s in short sections — stop and start around your shifts. Most people finish in about six to eight hours.
You answer questions as you go. Eighty percent to pass, five goes at everything, and no re-sit fee — a wrong answer just costs you a little time. One part has to be shown, not just answered. It’s a national rule, not ours — anyone who’s seen you handle food confirms it on a short form.
There are two ways in. Never done food safety training? You do the full course — both units. Already done the first unit in the last five years? You only study the second — your certificate still lists both. That shorter one isn’t available in New South Wales.
You get a nationally recognised certificate, issued by Melbourne Tech Institute — RTO #45799. By us, not a reseller. Everything else is on this page.
