Food safety supervisors

All licensed food businesses in Queensland are required to have a food safety supervisor for the food business within 30 days of the licence being issued. Whilst food safety supervisors have certain responsibilities to discharge under the Food Act 2006, the overall accountability for the sale of safe and suitable food rests with the licensee.

Refer to the Food Safety fact sheet 18 - Food Safety Supervisor for information on food safety supervisors and for details of the competency units that should be obtained by a nominated food safety supervisor for a food business within the various food sectors.

• Food Safety Supervisor - Credit Transfer Matrix Guideline
  Note: From time to time, national training packages are reviewed by the National Quality Council and training packages may be replaced. As a consequence, the competency units that comprise the training package may also change.
  
  If a competency unit has changed due to this process and a person has completed the competency unit under the old training package, they are still considered to have completed the competency unit regardless of the changes to the competency unit and/or training package.
