Meet Your Legal Obligations
With over 12,000 cases of food poisoning recorded every day and salmonella and gastroenteritis infections up by over 70% in the past decade, Australia's food safety laws were changed with the addition of Standard 3.2.2A.
These new laws came into force from December 2023 and apply to all Australian businesses that prepare/supply food. This includes childcare centres and aged care facilities along with restaurants, cafes, fast food outlets and food delivery services.
It is now unlawful for anyone to handle food without first completing a food safety training Course. When it comes to what qualifies as handling food, the legal definition is a broad one - anyone involved in the making, cooking, preparing, serving, packing, displaying, storing, and the delivery of food as well as the cleaning of equipment, utensils, surfaces and cutlery.
So, even if parents prepare the meals for their own children to consume while at childcare, the early childhood educators that refrigerate and hand out these meals must be trained under Standard 3.2.2A. Failure to comply has profound consequences.
Contrary to what some training organisations would have you believe - there is no accredited training program for food handlers. Instead, the law sets a minimum standard and requires this training to include 4 areas of knowledge - safe food handling, contamination, cleaning & sanitising and personal hygiene.
All state governments offer a free generic online training course. These meet a certain need but like all things in life, you get what you pay for. The fact is business owners are free to choose who delivers the training, what’s delivered, how it’s delivered and when it’s delivered. With industry specific content, interactive learning and a world leading educational platform, our Courses have set a new industry standard. We deliver the knowledge required by law along with the know-how to use it.
Businesses that supply food to vulnerable people (i.e. children and the elderly) are subject to greater oversight. Those considred to be high risk are required to comply to Standard 3.2.1 and must have a food business license along with an accredited Food Safety Program (FSP) and regular audits. These provide a business with a method of food safety management control.
Low and medium risk businesses were spared such regulatory supervision, but the introduction of Standard 3.2.2A has changed that. Although less complex and more flexible, Standard 3.2.2A requires them to impliment and maintain up-to-date records that prove they operate according to the Food Standards Code. Training for this is included in all 3 of our Food Handler (PLUS) Courses along with real life workplace examples.
For those with a food license and an accredited Food Safety Program (as identified by Standard 3.3.1) our new Food Safety MANAGEMENT CONTROL training program offers a short Course specifically designed to deliver the knowledge and understanding your staff need to get it right.
It is a proven fact – children in registered childcare suffer more illnesses more often than those cared for at home. It is one of the greatest universal concerns held by parents when it comes to childcare.
The Nation Health & Medical Research Council (NHMRC) is Australia’s leading authority on the health and wellbeing of children in early education. Based on their guidelines our CHILDCARE Infectious Diseases Training Course helps build confidence with parents when choosing a service.
This Course includes practical advice and step-by-strep instructional guidance. It’s unique in the market and highly regarded by students and business owners alike. It is aligned with Quality Are 2 of the ACECQA National Quality Framework and offers a comprehensive curriculum that ranges from preventing faecal contamination through to strategies to deal with vaccine hesitancy. It includes practical advice

What We Do & Why
"Knowledge is understanding how to use information to achieve an expected result"
The Food Safety eLearning Academy (FSEA) was established to provide high quality industry specific training solutions at a price everyone can afford. Our Courses comply with federal and state laws, mitigate risk, and help instil food safety/infection control into the culture of a business. Our students gain the knowledge they need and learn how to apply it. In short – their Certificate of Completion is well earned.
With 24/7 access, students are free to learn at their own pace and at a time and place that best suits them. Just like a text book, each Course is made up of Chapters that take about 20 to 30 minutes to complete and each Chapter is made up of Lessons. Easy-to-understand written copy, diagrams, high-resolution images, and world's best practice instructional videos bring each Lesson to life.
There’s a FACT SHEET at the end of each Chapter for student to download and keep plus a Quiz. Both serve to reinforce the key learning outcomes for maximum knowledge retention. The successful completion of each Course is rewarded with an official Certificate of Completion.
When considering quality and price, the Food Safety eLearning Academy continues to offer the best value proposition in the market.
Students have the knowledge and skills required by law and a greater understanding of how to use them. They are better skilled and more capable of identifying and addressing risks to the health and wellbeing of your customers, clients, and those in their care.

There Are Benefits With Both
The Food Safety eLearning Academy is not an RTO (Registered Training Organisation) so the Courses we offer are non-accredited.
Accredited Courses are delivered by an RTO to a set national standard curriculum and come with a nationally recognised certificate. Accredited Courses are often a requirement for jobs with greater authority - like a Food Safety Supervisor.
No, there is no accredited course for Australian food handlers. However, food handlers are required by law to have food safety training but how, when and how often is up to each business owner to decide. The law requires this traininig to include safe food handling, contamination, cleaning & sanitising as well as personal hygiene as the bare minimum.
A non-accredited courses is no less valuable than an accredited one. They are particularly good for learning new skills or building on existing proficiencies. Typically, they're more practical, shorter in duration, and cheaper. This means you can gain a new skillset in less time and at less cost. They are an equally important addition to your Resume.
