The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry headed the initiative to develop a single National Food Safety Auditor (NFSA) certification scheme that encompasses first, second and third party auditors, and provides confidence to industry in the abilities of food safety auditors. Improved confidence and national consistency in food safety auditor competency will contribute to reducing audit duplication and compliance costs.

In the NFSA scheme, applicants may also seek certification to Industry-based Scopes based on risk levels. Level 4 applicants may also seek certification to Specialized High Risk Scopes.

Applicants for APIQ Auditor must be certified in the NFSA scheme at Level 2. Requirements for APIQ Auditor have been developed a separate Sub-Scheme Committee with appropriate representation for the industry sector.

Details of APIQ Auditor requirements are provided under http://www.rabqsa.com/cb_apiq.html.

Summary of NFSA Certification requirements
This table provides a summary of certification requirements. Details are available in the Certification Requirements document and must be referenced when applying for certification.
