Food or Health Application Approval - How long does this take?

When you lodge a new Food or Public Health and Wellbeing Act application, we will be in contact with you by email or phone within 10 working days of receiving your application.

An application for a food or health registration can take between 4 and 6 weeks, before approval to trade is given.

This does not include any building or planning permit requirements, which is a separate application process with the relevant departments. Our business concierge may be able to assist you.

Missing or incorrect information and not being able to contact the applicant are common problems the assessing officer may have and this delays the approval of your business.
