Food Businesses

If your business sells food or if you are thinking of opening a business that will sell or handle food you will need to register your business with Council under the Victorian Food Act 1984. We have developed a guide to assist businesses with this process. (please link to Guide to Operating a Food Business - information still to be provided).

If you need more specific guidance or additional information on any topics related to food businesses and food safety, visit Council's Food Safety for Businesses page.

A registration form is available - please contact Council on 1300 322 322 for more information.

The Victorian State Government also provides a step-by-step guide and checklist to establishing a food business. For more details go to Business Assistance and Advice.
