Royal Melbourne Show

Royal Melbourne Show     

Each year, Infocus Management Group provides food safety and public health management services for the Royal Melbourne Show. Services are provided from start to finish: planning, implementation, supervision and review. During the planning stages Infocus assists the Royal Melbourne Show with obtaining the correct permits and registrations, planning food outlet fit-outs and operating infrastructure, liaising with Environmental Health Officers where required, and preparing food safety procedures and documentation for stallholders as per legislative requirements. Staff and stallholders are briefed on the procedures before the show begins and given individual program packs which include procedures and records created for their stalls. Infocus maintains a presence at the show to supervise food handling activities and to manage any food safety risks that are identified. After the show a written report is prepared providing an overview of the food safety and public health risk management at the current show, and recommendations for improvements for next year’s event.
