Your Statement of Attainment meets the Food Safety Supervisor requirement for class 1 and class 2 food premises anywhere in Victoria. Victoria has no separate state certificate — the units are the credential.
New South Wales asks appointed supervisors for its own NSW Food Safety Supervisor certificate, which only RTOs approved by the NSW Food Authority can issue.
