Food Safety Program and Training

We strive to provide support to local food businesses, with an emphasis on education and compliance with the relevant regulations for food safety.

Our Environmental Health team routinely assess all food businesses within the Shire.

What is FoodSafe?

The National Food Safety Standard requires people working with food to have skills and knowledge of food hygiene matters.

FoodSafe was developed by Environmental Health Australia in consultation with government, academia, industry and consumers, and is an in-house training program bringing basic food hygiene information directly to food handlers.

With new food establishments opening every day, more people are eating out more often, and food poisoning is on the increase.

As people now take legal action when something goes wrong, it makes sense for proprietors to protect themselves by making sure their products are as safe as possible.

FoodSafe is an ideal first step towards safer food.
