ISO 22000 certification in Geelong at a glance
Between Geelong's farms, its port and its supermarket shelves sit manufacturers, packers and distributors whose customers increasingly ask for system-level proof. Invest Geelong lists agribusiness and food manufacturing as a target sector, GeelongPort links its bulk trade to farming, and the City of Greater Geelong registers food premises by risk class. ISO 22000 offers a certifiable framework that goes past a HACCP plan: leadership commitment, communication along the chain, prerequisite programmes, hazard analysis, operational control, verification and internal audit, with improvement built in. Sterling's Sydney office starts from your existing HACCP and hygiene routines, completes the management system around them, trains internal auditors and prepares you for an audit by an accredited certification body.

ISO 22000 in Geelong: questions clients ask
When does a Geelong food business choose ISO 22000?
When customers ask for a certified food safety management system and are content with ISO 22000, or when a business wants a structured step before a GFSI scheme. Invest Geelong lists the sector as a target, so manufacturers, packers and ingredient suppliers are the usual candidates.
Does ISO 22000 replace the council's food premises registration?
No. Registration and risk classification are the council's matters for food premises, and a certificate does not stand in for them. ISO 22000 shows a management system built around hazard analysis. Confirm with the City of Greater Geelong which obligations your class of premises carries.
