Request for (Export) Permits (RFPs) - Raising and Validating
This training course is designed to provide you with an undestanding of raising and validating request for (Export) Permits (RFPs) and Meat Transfer Certificates (MTCs). The certification of export meat forms the basis of Australia’s reputation as a reliable supplier of meat and meat products. The ability to track product from beginning to end of the process and back again is key in retaining this reputation.
Accuracy in the data underpinning RFPs and MTCs are essential to the establishment’s systems for product integrity and traceability. Any inaccuracies are a breach of the legislation and can jeopardise the integrity of the health certificate thus eroding confidence in Australian government export certification.

The creation of RFP's and MTC's can be confusing and if found to be incorrect, can cause many problems for your establishment. It is essential that when creating these documents, accuracy of data and records used is checked and all records validated. The course covers the following topics:
- Traceability in the Red Meat Industry
- Personnel Responsibilities in Export Documentation
- Raising a Request for Permit
- Validating a Request for Permit
- The Appointment Process for an RFP Validator
- Raising a Meat Transfer Certificate
- Departmental Verification procedures
- Meat Messaging
