Developed Exclusively for Australian Aged Care
As of 08/12/2023 it became unlawful for anyone to handle food in an aged care facility or service that supplies food, unless they have completed a food safety training course.
To meet this need, we developed our Aged Care Food Handler (PLUS) Training Course. It provides a complete training solution for those responsible for handling food in an aged care setting.
The content of this Course is specific to aged care and was developed with advice from leading food safety experts.
The learning outcomes comply with the 4 mandated subjects of safe food handling specified by Standard 3.2.2A and support the new Star Rating System for residential aged care.
The comprehensive Course curriculum also includes an introduction to HACCP and Food Safety Management Controls (proof of safe food practices).
The training material is a mix of easy-to-understand written content, diagrams, high-quality images, and instructional videos. These are delivered using one of the world’s most prominent online education platforms.
The training is self-paced and available online 24/7 using a PC, laptop, smart phone, or smart device. The Course is made up of 10 Chapters and each one takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. At the end of each Chapter you'll find a FACT SHEET to download and keep followed by a short Quiz. Successful completion of this Course is rewarded with an official Certificate of Completion.
Reinforce Key Learning Outcomes
There Are Benefits With Both
The Food Safety eLearning Academy is not an RTO (Registered Training Organisation) so the Courses we offer are non-accredited.
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.
No, food handlers are not required to complete an accredited course and there is no such course in Australia. 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. As for ‘what’ the training needs to cover – the law requires this to include safe food handling, contamination, cleaning & sanitising as well as personal hygiene as the bare minimum.
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.
“This course was of great benefit to our team and we intend to make this mandatory training next year. ”
“There is nothing I would add to this course – everything I want was covered.”
“I will definitely be recommending this Course to my colleagues.”
