Lisa was an invaluable resource when working with City of Sydney council to facilitate our food and wine expo. With over 150 food exhibitors from all over Australia the advice, planning and assistance ensured everyone had access to the information and resources needed for a commercially successful and safe show.
Louise Binner
Event Coordinator, Good Food & Wine Show
Lisa was a huge asset to our environmental health team especially when our organisation was undergoing a period of change. Lisa's experience in environmental health is such that she was able to work to a high degree of autonomy and delegation with limited supervision, which resulted in positive business outcomes for our organisation.

Team Leader Environmental Health, Cumberland Council
Lisa is an excellent trainer who engages students well. Lisa's extensive experience in Environmental Health as well as her expertise in food safety and public health make her a sought-after trainer. Lisa is an excellent public speaker and has given numerous talks to her peers.
Richard Anthony

Lisa has completed food business inspections and skin penetration premises inspections in the capacity of a contractor for Penrith City Council. I found Lisa to be very knowledgeable, professional and completed the tasks as agreed. I would not hesitate to engage her services again.
