Darthcolo 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 Hello all! I was thinking in a way to survive (and make the savings last) when I go to Oz (untill I can find a job), and I was thinking on selling home made pies, door to door, or in the parks/beaches.

Just from memory, the food preparation area has to be inspected and a licence granted to be able to use those premises to prepare the food. You may have to take a course in safe food handling. The vehicle you use to sell the food from will have to meet regulations. You would need an Australian Business Number (ABN) for tax purposes. I am sure that there are a few more things that would need to be done as well, but those would be just an idea of what you would have to do before you start door knocking. Also, you would need some sort of insurance, because imagine what would happen if someone became very ill, or died after eating food you had prepared.
