Certificate IV in Meat Safety Inspection

Through this training, you'll learn skills around maintaining personal equipment, hygiene and sanitation practices, complying with quality assurance and HACCP requirements, follow safe work policies and procedures, and workplace communication. You'll also get an overview of the meat industry. This course may lead to meat industry roles including Quality Assurance (QA) officer, QA supervisor, QA auditor and QA manager.

With global meat consumption increasing both in Australia and in its major meat export markets — China, Indonesia, Japan and the United States — there's a real need for qualified workers to ensure quality is maintained for meat consumed both at home and abroad. 

You'll gain important job ready skills such as how to perform post-mortem inspection of food animals and in some cases ante-mortem inspection to ensure that meat is safe for human or pet consumption, in line with relevant Australian Standards. You'll also acquire  specialist technical skills and knowledge about food animal disease and conditions. 

Completion of this nationally recognised and accredited qualification can provide credit towards a relevant higher level qualification, should you wish to pursue further study.
