Under the NSW Food Act 2003, all food handling businesses in NSW are required to "notify" their details to the NSW Food Authority.
The only exceptions are those food businesses in certain industries which are directly licenced by the NSW Food Authority. Businesses that need to "notify" include, for example:
|
|
|
fixed and mobile food outlets
food retailing businesses
food stall holders at temporary, periodic and/or one-off events
food transporters
hospitals
school canteens
child-care and aged-care facilities which provide food
businesses involved in food storage
food wholesalers
food manufacturers in any form, and
importers, among others
|
|
|
|
All food businesses must "notify" their details (unless they are licenced) so this list is not exhaustive.
|
|
|
|
You can perform the notifications for free via the link on this page.

|
|
|
Notifications can also be lodged through Approved Collection Agencies, which includes NSW Local Councils.
Please note that Approved Collection Agencies may charge a processing fee.

|
It is the responsibility of all food businesses in NSW to also
ensure they comply with relevant parts of the national Food Standards Code.
