Food Safety Rules in QLD
How ISO 22000 Fits With Queensland Food Law
Every food business in Brisbane must comply with the Food Act 2006 (Qld) and the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code — enforced jointly by Queensland Health and your local council on a risk basis. Primary producers and processors of meat, seafood, dairy, eggs and horticulture are additionally regulated by Safe Food Production Queensland under the Food Production (Safety) Act 2000. These are your legal obligations, whether or not you hold any certification.
ISO 22000:2018 is a voluntary international standard that sits alongside those requirements — it does not replace them. What it adds is a systematic, auditable and globally recognised way to demonstrate food safety management, the kind of assurance that major retailers, tender processes and export buyers increasingly expect. UCS audits and certifies your management system against ISO 22000:2018; meeting your Queensland legal obligations remains your responsibility.

FAQ
ISO 22000 Certification Brisbane — Common Questions
What is ISO 22000:2018 certification in Brisbane?
ISO 22000:2018 is the international standard for Food Safety Management Systems (FSMS). It combines HACCP principles with prerequisite programmes to help Brisbane food businesses manage food safety hazards systematically. UCS is an accredited certification body that audits and issues internationally recognised ISO 22000:2018 certificates to Queensland food businesses.
Is ISO 22000 required by law in Queensland?
No. Brisbane food businesses must comply with the Food Act 2006 (Qld) and the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, enforced by Queensland Health and local councils, with primary producers also regulated by Safe Food Production Queensland. ISO 22000:2018 is a voluntary international standard that does not replace these obligations, but it demonstrates the food safety management buyers and retailers often expect.
Does Safe Food Production Queensland accreditation replace ISO 22000?
No. Safe Food Production Queensland accreditation is a legal requirement for certain primary producers and processors, while ISO 22000:2018 is a voluntary international management-system certification. Many Queensland businesses hold both — the Safe Food scheme for legal compliance and ISO 22000:2018 to meet buyer and export expectations.
How much does ISO 22000 certification cost in Brisbane?
ISO 22000:2018 certification costs in Brisbane vary based on your organisation's size, number of sites, product scope and FSMS complexity. UCS provides a transparent, competitive quote within 3–4 hours.

ISO 22000:2018 incorporates HACCP principles as a core component. Certification to ISO 22000:2018 covers HACCP requirements while adding a broader, auditable food safety management system.
