Food Safety Supervisor Certificate in Port Macquarie

In NSW, retail and hospitality businesses that prepare and serve food not sold in its original package — cafés, restaurants, takeaways, caterers, pubs and clubs with food service, mobile food vendors and supermarkets selling potentially hazardous food — must appoint at least one Food Safety Supervisor per premises. The Authority's test has three parts and has to be met all at once, which is why two shops on the same street can land on opposite sides of it — see which NSW businesses are captured, and the five exemptions. That applies in Port Macquarie just as it does across New South Wales. Add the official NSW Food Safety Supervisor certificate at checkout for $35 — one tick box, about two extra minutes. Your all-in NSW price is $164 ($129 course plus the $35 NSW certificate, which includes the $30 NSW FSS Certificate issue fee and $5 postage), with nothing else to pay. Melbourne Tech Institute is an approved NSW provider, approval no. 88522. When comparing NSW providers, compare the total price including the certificate rather than the course fee alone — so compare us on $164. Already certified and due to renew?

Yes. NSW requires one appointed Food Safety Supervisor per premises, not one per employee, so seasonal hires work under your existing supervisor — and a copy of that person’s certificate has to be kept at the premises. If your supervisor is the one leaving before the peak, train the replacement first: the course is 100% online and the certificate is issued within one business day. Port Macquarie Hastings Council registers and inspects food premises across the Hastings under the NSW Food Authority’s rules.

The Food Safety Supervisor course is $129, plus an optional $35 for the NSW certificate (includes the $30 NSW FSS Certificate issue fee and $5 postage) — nationally recognised, no hidden fees, and covered by our money-back guarantee.

In NSW the Food Safety Supervisor certificate is valid for 5 years. If yours is still current, or expired less than 90 days ago, you can renew it with us — see NSW recertification ($119 all-in). Expired more than 90 days ago? You'll need the full course again. A copy of the certificate must be kept on the premises. Full NSW requirements →
