Food safety in Byron Bay

Food safety in Byron Bay comes under the NSW Food Authority alongside Byron Shire Council. Because so much of the work here is seasonal and turnover is high, employers rarely have time to train from scratch — arriving with a food handler certificate already done is a genuinely practical way to move to the front of the queue for summer and festival-season shifts.
