This award-winning Australian-designed course is essential for aged care, disability, and home support workers who handle food. It provides both introductory knowledge and refresher training, helping staff understand the key role they play in protecting vulnerable people from foodborne illness. With older Australians and people with disability at higher risk due to weaker immune systems, safe food handling is critical to maintaining health and wellbeing.

The course covers practical skills and knowledge, including identifying high-risk foods, preventing cross-contamination, managing allergens, using thermometers, cooling food safely, maintaining hand hygiene, and applying environmental hygiene practices such as pest control. It also guides workers on correct glove use and how to report unsafe food handling. By completing this course, participants will build confidence to handle food safely and meet workplace responsibilities, ensuring the people they support remain safe and well.
