faqs
What certifications does Audit & Co hold for food safety audits?
Yes. Audit & Co is certified by Queensland Health and the Victorian Department of Health to conduct independent third-party food safety audits under the Food Act 2006 (Approval No. FSA/349). In addition, our auditors are formally trained in food science, giving us the expertise to assess operations with both regulatory and scientific rigor.
Which industries and business types do you audit?
Audit & Co works with a wide range of businesses across the food and hospitality sectors. This includes hotels, restaurants, food manufacturers and processors, distributors and suppliers, childcare and aged care facilities, hospitals, and function and catering venues. Whether you operate a single-site venue or a multi-location brand, our audits are tailored to meet your compliance, operational, and brand standard needs.
How should I prepare for a food safety audit?
To prepare for a food safety audit, ensure your Food Safety Program is current and all records are up to date, including temperature logs, cleaning schedules, pest control reports, and supplier documentation. Staff should be trained and aware of their responsibilities under your food safety system. Audit & Co also provides a pre-audit checklist to guide you through the process, helping you identify gaps before the audit and ensuring a smooth, efficient assessment.
What is a luxury service audit and how does it work?
Luxury service audits are discreet, third-party evaluations of your service, facility, and guest experience. Our certified auditors visit your venue—either anonymously or openly—to assess performance against your brand standards, regulatory requirements, and Forbes Travel Guide or LQA benchmarks. The audit identifies strengths and areas for improvement, helping you deliver consistent, five-star experiences and maintain your brand reputation.
Who conducts the audits and what qualifications do they hold?
All audits are conducted by qualified, certified auditors approved by Queensland Health and the Victorian Department of Health. Our team includes professionals trained in HACCP, food science, LQA, and Forbes Travel Guide standards, bringing both regulatory expertise and luxury hospitality insight to every assessment. Each auditor is experienced in evaluating service, operations, and compliance across hotels, restaurants, food manufacturers, and other foodservice businesses.
How often should I schedule audits for compliance and brand standards?
The frequency of audits depends on your business type and local regulatory requirements. Most licensed food businesses are required to undergo a food safety audit at least once every 12 months under the Food Act 2006. In some cases, councils may require audits every six months for higher-risk operations. For brand standard and luxury service audits, we recommend annual or biannual assessments to maintain consistent service quality, compliance, and guest experience. Multi-location or high-volume operations may benefit from more frequent audits to ensure standards are upheld across all sites.
