Food Safety Program Templates

All food businesses registered with Municipal Councils are required to submit a Food Safety Program when first registering the premises and on each annual registration date.

Food businesses may choose to develop their own independent Food Safety Program which will have to be audited by a certified Food Safety Auditor. Alternatively, food businesses can elect to use a standard Food Safety Program Template that has been registered with the Department of Human Services.
