Food safety in Torquay

Food safety on the Surf Coast comes under the Department of Health Victoria alongside Surf Coast Shire Council. The hiring here is sharply seasonal — venues take on large numbers of casual staff for summer and want them productive within days — so arriving with a food handler certificate already completed is one of the most practical things a seasonal applicant can do.
