A food business that has formally told its enforcement agency of its existence and details, as required before trading.
It has provided its details to the relevant enforcement agency, usually the local council, as required by Standard 3.2.2 before handling food for sale.
No. Notification just records that the business exists and what it does, while registration or licensing is a separate approval to operate that some councils and states also require.
Yes. Most food businesses, including home-based and market stalls, must notify their council before trading, generally through a single home council for mobile operators.
Notification itself is often free or low cost, though any separate registration or approval may attract a fee set by the council or state.
You should update your notification with the council when key details change, such as ownership, address or the type of food activity you carry out.
