LEGAL COMPLIANCE & RISK MITIGATION
Affordable Price with Industry Specific Content
Under Standard 3.2.2A of the Food Standards Code it is unlawful for anyone to handle food in a childcare setting without first completing a food safety training course.
The legal definition of a food handler has been made deliberately broad to include anyone involved in the making, cooking, preparing, serving, packing, displaying, storing, or the delivery of food as well as the cleaning of equipment, utensils, preparation surfaces, or cutlery.
Unlike a Food Supervisor, there is no accredited course available for food handlers. Business owners are free to choose the training their staff receive, the method of delivery and frequency. However, it must at least include - safe food handling, contamination, cleaning & sanitising as well as personal hygiene.
Industry specific content, a unique approach to learning and low fees have set us apart from our competition. Our Courses are developed with help from leading experts and designed to make it easy for students to learn and apply new knowledge to their work practices. A Free Fact Sheet and a Quiz at the end of each Chapter work to reinforce the desired learning outcomes.

Our CHILDCARE Food Handler (PLUS) 2025 Course is also aligned with Quality Area 2 (Health & Wellbeing) of the ACECQA National Quality Framework.

ACCREDITED Vs NON-ACCREDITED
Both Have Benefits
-
Is this an Accredited or Non-accredited Course?
The Food Safety eLearning Academy is not an RTO (Registered Training Organisation) so the Courses we offer are non-accredited.
-
What defines an Accredited Course?
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.
-
Are Food Handlers required to undertake an Accredited Course?
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.
-
Why undertake a Non-accredited Course?
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.
-
Why is the year important with a Course?
Knowledge is a continous process and with each year new rules and different ways of doing things emerge. How often you undertake re-training is also important where legal compliance is concerned. Our Courses are changed each year based on a formal review and feedback from students.
STUDENT COMMENTS ON OUR 2024 COURSE
Our New 2025 Course is Even Better!
“The course was very thorough and even though it took me long to complete I enjoyed it and found the course very beneficial. It was also good to have to get 100% of each quiz before continuing to the next chapter as this made sure that the answers I knew was because I understood and the ones I had to repeat made me rethink or go back through the chapter for the correct answer thus revising it at the same time. Thank you.”
