Food Businesses in Claremont

Business Regulations and Approvals

Food Premises

All food prepared for consumption and supply to the public is required to comply with the provisions of the Food Act 2008 and the FSANZ Food Standards Code. To ensure that all food businesses are complying with these provisions the Town of Claremont carries out routine food safety and hygiene assessments of all business premises. Environmental Health Services in conjunction with the Department of Health and LAHCC samples food for both microbiological and chemical analysis.

If you have concerns about the handling of food and conditions of the premises within the Town please call the Environmental Health Team on 9285 4300.

Scores on Doors

In October 2016 Town of Claremont launched the Scores on Doors food safety program.  Under the new program Claremont food premises are able to display a star rating following assessment by the Town's Environmental Health Officers.  

Scores on Doors is based on the unannounced, mandatory food inspections that are already being carried out by Town of Claremont.  It includes any businesses serving food, such as restaurants, pubs, bars, cafes and takeaway outlets.

Following inspection, businesses scoring five stars or more are offered a certificate and window sticker to display to customers.

The below document confirms those food businesses within Claremont which currently hold a five star rating.
