Dairy Food Safety Victoria (DFSV) is the independent regulator of Victoria’s dairy industry. DFSV ensures that national and international food safety standards are met. We do this by licensing all dairy premises operating in Victoria’s dairy industry and approving and ensuring compliance with food safety programs. DFSV works in partnership with the dairy industry to ensure safe, world-class dairy foods and a profitable and sustainable dairy industry.
