Food Safety Training
The City of Nedlands is pleased to provide FREE and unlimited access to an exciting new training program that will assist food businesses and their employees in gaining valuable skills and knowledge in food safety and hygiene.

This training program will assist food business managers in ensuring all staff are trained in this important area and thereby reducing any risk of food borne illness resulting from poor food handling practices.
