Establishments seeking to become export registered must be audited by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry as part of the registration process.
We may conduct a follow-up audit to assess the first full run of an establishment’s processes before handing responsibility for scheduled audits to state regulatory authorities, under agreed service delivery arrangements.
Check who has responsibility for scheduled audits of export registered dairy, eggs and fish establishments in your state.
This does not apply to multi-commodity stores that are registered for meat, as well as other products; these sites will always be audited by the department.
