Unfortunately there is currently no national regulator administering food safety licensing, permits and regulations for community groups seeking to sell foods to raise funds.
Food Safety for community fundraisers is administered by state-based bodies and at the local council level. The following list contains links to your state-based regulatory authority.
It is incumbent upon all community and grassroots organisations to understand food-safety regulations. If in any doubt, use your local council as your first port of call and the links below for reference.
