Food Safety

Learn the skills and knowledge to work hygienically when handling food and ensure the safety of food during its storage, preparation, display, service and disposal.

Food safety supervision skill set will equip you with the skills and knowledge to safely handle potentially hazardous and ready-to-eat food during its preparation, distribution, service and sale.

From 8 December 2023, all registered food businesses in the tourism, retail, hospitality and catering industries across Australia must appoint a Food Safety Supervisor holding a food safety certificate (that has been issued within the last five years). The SITSS00069 – Food Safety Supervision Skill Set, will help you meet this requirement.

Access to a commercial or training food preparation area and supervisor is required.

In order to complete the Observation Report and Logbook as part of your assessment requirements, you will need access to a permanent or temporary kitchen premises or smaller food preparation or bar area.

An observer, such as supervisor, employer or someone with appropriate food preparation experience will observe and comment on your relevant skills and knowledge as you use hygienic practices while performing a range of food handling tasks. The observer will need to complete the Observation Reports.

The Observation Reports and Logbooks must be submitted within 6 months of course enrolment.
