Australian Consumer Law — Your rights

Under the ACL, customers purchasing catering services are entitled to consumer guarantees including that services will be rendered with due care and skill, be fit for purpose, and provided within a reasonable time. These guarantees are in addition to any contractual terms.

Remedies

If services are not delivered as guaranteed you may be entitled to a remedy (repair, re‑performance, refund).

Faulty or unsafe food

We must not supply food that is unsafe. Report issues immediately for rapid assessment and remediation.

Refunds & credits

Refunds are assessed against ACL criteria and our cancellation policy (see § Booking & Cancellation).

Service terms — bookings, deposits & performance

All bookings are accepted subject to availability and our written confirmation. A deposit (typically 20–50% depending on event scale) secures the booking; full payment schedules and final guest numbers must be confirmed in writing *** later than 7 days before the event unless otherwise agreed.

We supply a written quote and conditions. The client is responsible for site access, venue permits, power, parking and any third‑party fees unless explicitly included in the quote.

Catering setup

Key policies — quick answers

Deposits are non‑refundable except where required by law. We may retain part of a deposit to cover administrative costs where a client cancels within the agreed cancellation window.

Cancellation terms vary by booking size. Where cancellations are due to our failure to meet ACL guarantees, clients may be entitled to a refund or re‑performance. See full T&Cs supplied with your quote.

We maintain procedures to minimise cross‑contact. Clients must disclose allergies in writing before final confirmation. Menu changes requested within 7 days may incur fees.

Food safety & compliance

We operate in accordance with state food safety laws and follow best practice (HACCP‑based controls, temperature logs, trained food handlers and secure transport). Local council requirements and venue rules must be advised at booking.

  • All chefs hold current food handler certifications.
  • Food is transported in temperature‑controlled vehicles.
  • Records retained for a minimum of 2 years where required by law.

Dispute resolution & governing law

Parties must attempt good faith resolution (direct contact, negotiation, mediation) before commencing proceedings. Small claims may be filed in the appropriate local tribunal.
