SUMMARY:HARPS workshop (Brisbane)
DESCRIPTION:The Harmonised Australian Retailer Produce Scheme (HARPS) harmonises the additional food safety\, legal and trade requirements developed by the major Australian chain retailers into a single scheme. Certification to a recognised base scheme (such as Freshcare\, GLOBALG.A.P. or SQF) plus HARPS is now accepted by the five chain retailers\, eliminating the need for duplication and unnecessary costs. \nIf you want to know more about HARPS\, if your business requires HARPS approval\, how to implement HARPS\, how to register your interest in HARPS or where you can get additional support and guidance\, a series of workshops are being held around Australia to help you get the information you need. \nFor growers in other regions\, a pre-recorded webinar will be available on the HARPS website. \nIf you have any questions about HARPS\, please call 1300 852 219 or e-mail harps@harpsonline.com.au.

SUMMARY:Biosecurity webinar
DESCRIPTION:Plant biosecurity is a series of measures that aid in protecting production areas from harmful insects\, weeds\, and various plant diseases. On-farm biosecurity best practices play a pivotal role in maintaining Australia’s reputation of producing high quality products. \nTo help you better understand on-farm biosecurity and how to implement practices on your farms that can protect you from damaging incursions\, the levy-funded VegNET program is hosting a free webinar with industry experts for vegetable growers. \nThis webinar will feature Dr Jessica Lye (AUSVEG)\, Greg Owens (NT Farmers) and growers speaking about what you should do to protect your farm through good hygiene and biosecurity management. \nTo register for this webinar\, click here. \nGrowers interested in learning more about biosecurity can also watch a VegNET video about cucumber green mottle mosaic virus in the Northern Territory and the biosecurity lessons learnt from the response to this virus. \nIf you’re interested in learning more about projects currently being delivered to support the Australian vegetable industry’s biosecurity\, visit the biosecurity and crop protection section of our website. \n

SUMMARY:HARPS workshops (Stanthorpe)
DESCRIPTION:The Harmonised Australian Retailer Produce Scheme (HARPS) is a retailer-led scheme designed to assist compliance with food safety\, legal and trade legislation for suppliers to the major grocery retailers in Australia. The scheme has now been running for 18 months\, and over 900 businesses are now HARPS-approved. \nEstablished with the goal of providing a more practical and comprehensive approach\, HARPS has the ability to streamline the amount of work undertaken during the audit process. While the overall amount of time and resources saved will differ between businesses\, for those currently audited to multiple schemes for multiple customers\, transitioning to the use of one base scheme plus HARPS will mean a reduction in audit duration and potentially overall audit costs. \nNew information sessions have been announced to help increase industry understanding of the scheme: \n\nWanneroo (WA) (1) – Tuesday 22 May 2018\nWanneroo (WA) (2) – Tuesday 22 May 2018 (Vietnamese translation available at this session)\nCarnarvon (WA) – Wednesday 23 May 2018\nMildura (VIC) – Monday 28 May 2018\nRobinvale (VIC) – Tuesday 29 May 2018\nStanthorpe (QLD) – Tuesday 5 June 2018\nHARPS awareness webinar (including Q&A) – Monday 21 May 2018\n\nThese sessions will provide those who are already HARPS-approved with a refresher on the program and help those not currently involved with HARPS get an understanding about what it will mean for their business. They will cover essential details\, including: \n\nWhat is HARPS?\nDoes your business require HARPS approval?\nHow to implement HARPS?\nHow to register your interest in HARPS and what are the timelines?\nWhat additional support and guidance is available?\n\nThere will also be the opportunity to ask questions about HARPS. \nGrowers who can’t make it to one of those workshops can also refer to a new factsheet on HARPS which is designed to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about the scheme. More information about HARPS can be found on the HARPS website.
