All staff that supervise food preparation and handling at Restaurants, Hotels, Cafes, Aged Care Facilities, Motels, Bistros, Fast Food Outlets, Catering Operations, and Retail Food Outlets in NSW are required to complete the SITXFSA005 (Use Hygienic Practices for Food Safety) and SITXFSA006 (Participate in Safe Food Handling Practices).

It is recommended that Food Safety Supervisors complete training and obtain a statement of attainment issued by a registered training organisation (RTO) like CFT for the relevant food sector where they work.
Students in the NSW Food Safety Supervisor Course (course codes SITXFSA005 & SITXFSA006) will be assessed in two components:
1. A set of online multiple-choice questions at the end of each section to test your knowledge, AND
2. A simple skills observation report carried out in the workplace.
There are some things we can’t see you doing through your computer – such as washing your hands. That’s why we need you to ask somebody that you work with, or someone who works in the food industry, to complete a skills observation report
