WA Care Sector Food Safety Supervisor Course

Course Outline

Nationally Recognised Training: YES

Course Name: Cluster: HLTFSE001, HLTFSE005, HLTFSE007

Course Overview

In the care setting, large numbers of children are often in close contact for long periods of time throughout the day. Children also share toys, mats, drink bubblers and other resources. For these reasons, there are increased opportunities for hygiene to be compromised and germs to be spread.

Therefore, it is important that food safety training takes into account children’s underdeveloped hygiene practices and the nature of how food is prepared and served in the care environment.

These factors have been addressed in this course along with the relevance of the correct development and implementation of food safety and environmental checklists.

To cater to the different training requirements of Food Safety Supervisors in the Health and Community Services sector across these states, we’ve ‘clustered’ three nationally accredited units that will appear on your Statement of Attainment on completion:

  • HLTFSE001 – Follow basic food safety practices
  • HLTFSE005 – Apply and monitor food safety requirements
  • HLTFSE007 – Oversee the day-to-day implementation of food safety in the workplace

This consolidation offers a smoother study experience by reducing repetition compared to completing each unit separately.

This ‘cluster’ also meets the training requirements for Food Safety Supervisors in the Health and Community Services sectors in:

  • Victoria (VIC)
  • Queensland (QLD)
  • South Australia (SA)
  • Western Australia (WA)
  • Tasmania (TAS)
  • Australian Capital Territory (ACT)
  • Northern Territory (NT)

These 3 units will give you the required qualifications to be a Food Safety Supervisor in these States.  For other state options see our Food Safety Supervisor course page.

 

  • There are no entry requirements for this qualification.
  • Minimum age of entry is 15 years of age, unless otherwise stated.
  • Students must be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident to apply.
  • Access to a computer
  • Reliable Internet connection

Students must be able to access a Health or Community Services environment, that also works as a food business to be observed performing food handling tasks appropriate to the workplace by a Third Party Observer.

This may include Childcare centres, Outside School Hours Care services or Aged Care services.

Examples of a suitable Third Party Observer include:

  • A Food Safety Supervisor
  • A person with other Food Safety Qualifications
  • A head chef or other trained food specialist
  • A workplace manager, Supervisor or Director

Practical Placement is to be independently arranged by the student with a suitable organisation. Practical Placement can be undertaken as part of employment or as a volunteer.

EPEC offers a supportive, thorough and professional service that is superior to other education and assessment organisations. I only wish I found them earlier and not wasted my time and money with others. Highly recommend this team!
Working with Deb Kearney from EPEC Education was an exceptional experience and truly helped me get started with confidence in my RPL journey. From the very beginning, Deb was incredibly supportive, understanding, and professional. I was quite nervous at first, but her calm and friendly approach immediately put me at ease and helped me feel more confident in sharing my knowledge and experience.

She guided the entire competency conversation with clarity and patience, asking relevant and practical questions that made it easy to connect my real-life experience to the assessment. Her ability to listen, encourage, and provide reassurance made a big difference, and I felt genuinely supported throughout the process.

Deb’s approach not only made the experience smooth and stress-free but also helped me recognise the value of my own skills and knowledge in the childcare field. I am truly grateful for her guidance and support in helping me take this important step. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone going through the RPL process, as she genuinely cares about student success and makes the journey both comfortable and confidence-building.
I’m so grateful to Debbie and the team at EPEC Education for their incredible support throughout my journey. I recently completed my RPL competency conversation for my Diploma of Outside School Hours Care, and the whole process was made so much easier thanks to their guidance, encouragement, and professionalism.

Debbie was especially supportive, making me feel confident and comfortable while sharing my experience. I highly recommend EPEC Education to anyone looking to further their qualifications in OSHC!!
wonderful , high quality and comrehensive training !
The presentation was well delivered with very good contents and informative for educators and parents in this digital era. It is an eye opener for those who take technology as main source of teaching.
EPEC Education was suggested to me and I'm so incredibly glad I chose this RTO to complete my Child Protection.
From the first phone call I was given so much support and understanding as an older woman who has extreme anxiety with all things associated to online learning.
I was linked up with the wonderful Deb who guided me step by step through each module, showing patience, understanding and reassurance. She gave me the time I needed and the confidence I needed to successfully complete the course.
I can't recommend EPEC Education highly enough.
EPEC Education has proven to be an exceptional RTO that has fabulous support from their trainers. MJ is very attentive and ready to help you in the chat box online at any time, whilst Debbie who is the Student Support Officer was so helpful in assisting with challenging questions and completing units. Nothing was too big or small for Debbie to help with. She was friendly, kind and supportive. Her motivation to help others really is inspiring and makes you want to keep going at the task ahead. Thank you EPEC Education for being the most ideal RTO for studying online.
Response from the owner:Thank youTamika for your kind review. We are pleased you have enjoyed your experience studying with us. The EPEC Team.
Yesterday I was in a time crunch to complete a certificate for a new job role and had a little trouble with receiving the correct information for the study. Debbie took the time to chat to me over the phone about the learning content and explained everything clearly, easily and respectfully! She was kind, patient and understanding, helping me to better understand what I needed to do for a successful completion of the tasks.
I felt clearly understood, respected and calm (as I was quite panicked when I called her) by the end of the call.

Thank you again for your help Debbie!
Highly recommend. The most thorough, up-to-date, and informed on child protection.
I completed the Child Protection Refresher course and would highly recommend it to other educators. The course allows you to work at your own pace, and its structure is well-organized.
I enjoy EPEC webinars
I found this training to be very clear and packed full of content. It was informative, gave great oversight of the issues presenting, and strategies to navigate thru and mitigate risks. Was definitely worth doing. Thank you
MJ and Chloe are exceptional! I have been using EPEC for my services for many years. Super easy to enrol, navigate and sign up a number of educators at once. If you have issues, EPEC will no doubt assist you.
