In Australia, there are two types of legislation: federal and state.

At the federal level, legislation is governed by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).

At the state level, each state has its own Food Safety Act that needs to be adhered to.

Food organisations must understand the food safety laws that apply to them in their specific state or territory.
