Who does this impact?
The new requirements need to be met by any business that prepares or serves food in any Australian state and territory. In Australia, food safety laws are enforced at a state and territory level.
No matter which state or territory you operate within, the new requirements of Standard 3.2.2A are more extensive than previous requirements. This means that food businesses need to take action to ensure they remain compliant as the consequences of noncompliance can be serious.
Prior to recent changes, many states and territories had their own special requirements for food handling and record keeping, these included New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory.
However, from December 8, 2022, all Australian states and territories must now comply with the requirements outlined in Standard 3.2.2A.
This also means that for the first time, those states and territories that previously had limited requirements, must now follow the new standard. This includes Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
What must I do to be ready before December 8?
Every business is different, Standard 3.2.2A has different requirements for different types of food-related activities. The following checklist is a good place to start:
Determine if the Standard applies to you, and which category your business falls into
★ Review your staff’s qualifications. Who needs to train or retrain?
★ Make sure you have a Food Safety Supervisor in every venue as required.
★ Get your current Food Safety Supervisors certified, or make sure their accreditations are up to date.

Penalties & Non Compliance
Enforcement of the new standard commences in 2023 and is overseen by local government. The penalties for not complying with the Food Standards Code vary depending on the severity of the violation, as well as the state or territory the business is operating in. These can include fines, suspension or cancellation of a food business licence.
Additionally, food safety incidents resulting from non-compliance can result in damage to a business’s brand and reputation, a loss of customers, and the potential for legal action by affected consumers.
