From the Victorian Government’s Department of Health website:

From 1 July 2010, major changes to the Food Act 1984 apply to Victoria’s 45,000 food businesses and community groups conducting food events.

The Food Act 1984 regulates the sale of food for human consumption in Victoria.

The amendments aim to better match the level of regulation with the risk inherent in premises’ food handling activities, and to strengthen the accountability of regulators.

Victoria’s food safety standards remain in place while simplifying food safety requirements for low-risk food premises.

The national Food Standards Code continues to apply and is not affected by changes to the Act.
