Clear to Work

Overview

Clear to Work (RTO 21907) is one of Australia’s most price-competitive nationally accredited food safety training providers. Their Food Safety Supervisor course for hospitality businesses is priced at $86 for all states outside NSW — the lowest verified price in this comparison — and $125 for NSW, which includes the NSW Government FSS certificate.

Clear to Work holds NSW Food Authority approval number 29586, meaning they can issue the NSW Government FSS certificate required for NSW-based food businesses. Their courses are delivered entirely online and self-paced.

Beyond the standard hospitality FSS pathway, Clear to Work offers an unusually broad catalogue of individual food safety units across multiple industry sectors, including health and community services (HLT-coded units), retail, and food processing pathways.

Industry sectors covered

Clear to Work’s broad unit catalogue makes it relevant across all five sectors:

• Hospitality — SITXFSA005 + SITXFSA006 ($86 non-NSW)
• Retail — SIRRFSA001
• Health and community services — HLTFSE001, HLTFSE005, HLTFSE007; dedicated aged care and child care package ($130)
• Food processing — check provider for FBP-coded unit availability
• Transport and distribution — SITXFSA005 + SITXFSA006

Who this course suits

Price-sensitive operators — At $86, this is the lowest verified price for a nationally accredited FSS course in Australia. The nationally recognised Statement of Attainment issued is identical in compliance value to certificates from higher-priced providers.

Health and aged care businesses — The availability of HLT-coded units and a dedicated aged care/child care FSS package makes Clear to Work one of the few providers explicitly covering this pathway at competitive pricing.

Businesses needing individual units — The ability to purchase SITXFSA005 and SITXFSA006 individually ($33 and $75 respectively) is useful for staff who hold one unit from a previous provider and need to top up, noting the NSW Food Regulation 2025 single-RTO rule for NSW certificate purposes.

Things to consider

• NSW single-RTO rule. From 1 September 2025, NSW students must complete both SITXFSA005 and SITXFSA006 with the same RTO. If purchasing individual units for NSW certification purposes, both must be purchased from Clear to Work.
• Verify current pricing. Prices at this level can change frequently. Always confirm the current price at cleartowork.com.au before relying on this data.
