About the SQF International Conference
This will be the fifth SQF International Conference and the first outside of North America. The SQF Institute is a Division of the US-based Food Marketing Institute (FMI), and manages the SQF 1000 and SQF 2000 supplier codes. The SQF codes have seen considerable growth internationally over the past twelve months, and this conference will showcase retailers, suppliers and other stakeholders from both sides of the Pacific outlining case studies and developments in the SQF Program.

This course has been designed to assist food manufacturers and processors in understanding the workings associated with foreign object detection devices and other control devices; their positives and negatives and problems to be aware of when installing, operating and monitoring these devices.
Gain a practical understanding of what HACCP is, and how to develop and implement systems that benefit your business and your HACCP Team. Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a universally accepted tool used to identify and prevent food safety hazards. This three-day course is hands-on and aimed at giving participants an in depth knowledge of the principles of HACCP and how to apply it to your business to meet customer and regulatory requirements.
This is a one-day course aimed at giving a general introduction to food microbiology – the good, the bad and the ugly! The course is designed for those involved in the production of food who, although not microbiologists, need to understand the principles of microbiology with a focus on food safety for effective development and implementation of HACCP or food safety programs or anyone who has an interest in the biological food safety hazards. Demonstrations and practical exercises are included.
An integral part of all auditable standards includes the ability of a business to internally review or audit their food safety program’s procedures and practices on a regular basis. This two-day course aims to give the participants the necessary skills and knowledge required by these standards to conduct internal audits, with a specialised focus on food safety programs and pre-requisite programs. The course is presented by industry-experienced auditors who will teach you proven techniques & practices for successful auditing of your business’s or your suppliers documentation and practices by the incorporation of practical workshops and role playing exercises.
This is a one-day course aimed at giving a general introduction to the seven principles of the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system and incorporates the content of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and FSANZ legislation and the importance of complying with these requirements. It is designed to cater for all levels in the food industry, from Senior Management & Business Owners or Supervisors to shop-floor food handlers. It is particularly good for those who have a role in the maintenance of a HACCP Plan, but don’t need technical detail to carry out their responsibilities, nor involvement in the development of food safety programs. The competency units offered with this course are also recognised in Victoria and Queensland to meet the Food Safety Supervisor Requirements in these states.
If you have a team of staff within your facility in need of training, you can save time and money by having a training course delivered at your site. Providing training internally ensures that all staff are consistently trained in the skills they need, at the level they need. It has the added advantage that training can be tailored to your business or industry, using examples that directly relate to your operation. All of our courses are available for delivery at your workplace.
