Community Groups and Fundraising
If you are a Community Group doing fundraising by selling food to the public you still have certain obligations are under the Food Act.
Depending on what you are selling and whether you are operating from a fixed premises or from a temporary or mobile location you need to either register or notify with your local Council directly or via FoodTrader.

Do Food Safely
Do Food Safely is a free online learning resource for people working with food. This online learning resource provides information about safe food handling. Participants can test their knowledge by completing the assessment at the end of the online course.
Community groups should encourage all their volunteers who participate in food handling at events to visit the Do Food Safely website to better understand the requirements and need for safe food handling.
