COMPLIANCE & RISK MITIGATION

available 24/4 using a PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone or smart device

Legal Obligation

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.

 



Food Safety Training

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.

 

 

Standard 3.3.1

If you supply food to children or the elderly then there's a good chance you must have a food business license and an accredited Food Safety Program (FSP) as required by Standard 3.3.1 of the Food Standards Code. An FSP provides food safety management control and is subject to scheduled on-site audits.

Not all businesses are required to have a food business license and an FSP. However, that loop hole has been closed with Standard 3.2.2A. While it's not as complex or subject to regular audits, Standard 3.2.2A demands those without a food business license and FSP to impliment and maintain up-to-date records that prove they operate according to the Food Standards Code. This is easily done by applying the same principles of food safety management control. Unlike others, this is included in all 3 of our Food Handler (PLUS) Courses.

If your business is licensed with an accredited Food Safety Program, then our ADVANCED Food Safety Program is a must for you. It was specifically designed to deliver the knowledge and understanding your staff need to get it right.

 



Childcare Infectious Diseases

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

ACCREDITED Vs NON-ACCREDITED

There Are Benefits With Both

  • Are your Courses Accredited?

    The Food Safety eLearning Academy is not an RTO (Registered Training Organisation) so the Courses we offer are non-accredited.

  • What defines an Accredited Course?

    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.

  • Is there an Accredited Course for Food Handlers?

    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.

  • Why undertake a Non-accredited Course?

    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.
