Section A
Environmental health improvements has had a deep impact on the health status of people of Australia. According to Whiley et al. (2019), due to environmental health interventions alongwith provisions such as vaccination programs, sewage disposal measures, safe sanitation practices and other safe environmental measures adopted by the Governnment life expectancy of people has been significantly increased. However environmental risk factors such as climatic changes, air, water, soil pollution, UV radiation have all attributed to significant deaths in the country. According to Smith (2021), Australia follows a legal federal system and the environmental regulatory framework is governed by the Commonwealth as well as state/territory legislation.
Environment protection and Biodiversity Act (EPBC), outlines the legal framework and is responsible for maintaining national environmental significance. The administration of EPBC is in the hands of Department of water and environment (DAWE). The key legislative authorities of Australia consists of Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Environmental Protection Act 1997, Waste management and pollution control Act 1998, Environmental management and pollution control Act, Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997.
Australian food regulatory systems aims to protect the health and safety of citizens by reducing the food related risks, by ensuring the citizens have enough information to make informed choices about the consumption of the food, by enabling a strong regulatory framework of food industry to supply people with diverse and affordable quality of nutritional food thereby benefitting the Australian economies. Foods Standard Australia NewZealand (FSANZ), forms the food regulatory systems. According to Weinroth and Belk (2018), a joint treaty was signed between the two countries in 1996 to allow a joint food standard system. FRSC (Food Regulation standing committee) develops food guidelines and the joint standards that are finalised becomes an integral part of Food standards code. ISFR (International Subcommittee for food regulation) is a subcommittee of FSRC and is responsible for implementing and enforcing food standards between jurisdictions.
Food-borne illnesses are a major concern in developed countries like Australia with figures stating that approximately 25% of gastroenteritis cases were encountered in the year 2010. Hence, it is imperative to develop standard food safety policy as well as implement in the food retail sector. According to Smith, Ross and Whiley (2016), perspective based outcomes policy entails a set of prescriptive requirements that must meet compliance with the food regulations driven by the federal government. Its approach is based upon principles of food safety that are associated with end-product testing as well as inspections. On the other hand, outcome-based approach utilises risk assessment in order to identify and control hazards related to food safety which results in prevention of food-borne illnesses. It also allows for self-regulation which may help in achieving better results by adopting innovative and creative practices. Although the perspective based outcome approaches have their targets set by government, it is the regulator who needed to ensure targets were met and was also responsible for maintaining food safety practices. This direct regulation practices were found to be unsuccessful in dealing with occupational health and safety.     The outcome based approach focuses on safe and suitable food and the risk assessments tends to be anticipatory as well as of more manageable nature thus making it more acceptable. It also places greater emphasis on operations of food business by managing their risks thereby resulting in reduction of regulatory burden levels. Outcome based approach is known to maintain high standards for health and safety while allowing the regulated parties to keep pace with the latest advances in fields of science and technology. The outcome-based approach is widely adopted by the Australian food safety policy makers based on economical susteinance and public health. With prescriptive based outcomes the cost of failures was leading to an exponential increase in the incidences of food borne illnesses. Hence, the Australian government decided to shift from the prescriptive based outcomes to the outcome based approach of regulation.
This was done by Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in year 1995 by endorsement of a set of principles of good regulatory practices that reflected on utilising a scientifically robust system of risk assessment. Subsequently, in year 2000, CAOG decided to implement major changes in certain food regulation...
