Introduction

If your food safety supervisor certificate has been lost or damaged, contact the registered training organisation (RTO) that issued the certificate for a replacement.

If the RTO is no longer operating or has let its NSW Food Authority approval lapse, you can lodge an application with the Food Authority. They will be able to reissue a replacement certificate.
