A fresh start for foodservice

Welcome to 2025 - a year filled with opportunities to strengthen our vibrant foodservice industry.

The Australian Culinary Federation has an exciting line-up of events planned, including workshops, seminars, competitions and networking opportunities. These are valuable moments to connect with peers, learn from others and celebrate the talent within our industry. Take a look at the calendar and make note of the dates that fit your plans - it’s a great way to stay engaged.

We’re also introducing new membership categories for pastry professionals, recognising the diverse expertise within our community.

For those looking to sharpen their skills, a friendly reminder that the Learning Academy is always here as a resource. With a variety of training opportunities designed for professionals at every stage, it’s a valuable tool to help you stay ahead in this fast-paced industry.

“As we move into 2025, let’s focus on building skills, fostering sustainability and supporting each other’s wellbeing”

If you’re not yet a member, consider joining us this year. Membership goes beyond events - it’s about being part of a community that supports your growth, shares ideas and celebrates successes together. With resources, professional development and connections at your fingertips, it’s a step toward achieving your goals in foodservice.

As we move into 2025, let’s focus on building skills, fostering sustainability and supporting each other’s wellbeing. Together we can continue to strengthen the foundations of our industry.
