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 Scopes for Coles
Auditor and APIQ Auditor. Requirements for this Scope have been developed by a separate Sub-Scheme Committee with appropriate representation for the industry sector.
Details of Industry Scope requirements are provided under COLES AUDITOR and APIQ AUDITOR.
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.
