1
Setup
Add your business and suppliers

Create your business profile — tell us your food class (1, 2, 3, or 4) and EthicalHub configures your compliance requirements automatically. Then add your suppliers and upload their certificates.

Class auto-detection Use your existing suppliers Bulk certificate upload

Daily operations
Staff log deliveries as they arrive

On any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. Supplier, product, temperature, date, staff member. Logged in under 30 seconds. If the temperature is out of range, a corrective action workflow starts automatically.

Background monitoring
EthicalHub monitors everything you don't have time to watch

Supplier certificates expiring in the next 30 days. FSS certificates approaching renewal. Corrective actions overdue. Your compliance score updating live. All running in the background — you just get notified when action is needed.

Corrective actions
Non-conformances are captured, assigned, and closed

When a delivery temperature breach occurs, an allergen certificate is missing, or a PRP review identifies an issue — EthicalHub logs it immediately. Assign it to a staff member, set a deadline, and track the close-out with a timestamped audit trail.

Platform features

Every tool included.
No add-ons, no extras.

Delivery Temperature Verification Log
Every high-risk food delivery logged against supplier, product, temperature, staff member, and invoice. Mandatory under FSANZ 3.2.2.
Logged in 30 seconds — supplier, product, temperature, staff member. Works on any device.
Automatic breach detection — temperature above 5°C for cold foods triggers a corrective action immediately.
3-year record retention — all logs stored with timestamps and available for inspection at any time.
Supplier Certification Vault
Every supplier certificate stored, version-controlled, and automatically monitored for expiry. Never be caught with an expired cert again.
HACCP, insurance, and allergen declarations — all tracked in one place per supplier.
Version history — always know which certificate was current at the time of a specific delivery.
Expiry alerts at 60, 30, and 7 days — escalating notifications ensure certificates are renewed before they lapse.
Food Safety Supervisor Tracking
FSS certificates stored digitally with automatic renewal reminders. Mandatory for Class 1 and 2 food businesses under the Food Act 1984 (Vic).
Multi-staff tracking — manage multiple FSS certificates across your team or sites.
5-year renewal cycle tracked automatically — alerts sent well before expiry so there's no gap in coverage.
Certificate stored on-site digitally — available for inspection by an authorised officer at any time.
HACCP Prerequisite Program Tracker
All 18 PRPs required under FSANZ 3.2.1 — scheduled, reviewed, corrected, and documented. For Class 1 food businesses and manufacturers.
All 18 PRPs tracked — from premises and equipment to allergen management and staff training.
Scheduled review dates — alerts when a PRP review is due. Record completion and corrections in-platform.
Full audit trail — every review, correction, and sign-off timestamped and available for approved auditor review.
Audit Readiness Score
Your live compliance score — calculated across 7 domains, updated every time a log is submitted, certificate uploaded, or action closed.
7-domain scoring — supplier compliance, delivery logs, FSS status, allergen controls, corrective actions, governance, and PRPs.
Score breakdown per domain — know exactly where your gaps are before an auditor finds them.
One-click audit pack — when your score is green, download the complete compliance file in 60 seconds.

Questions

Common questions
answered directly.

No. EthicalHub works alongside your existing suppliers and ordering systems. You add your current suppliers into the platform, upload their certificates, and your team logs deliveries as they arrive. Nothing about your procurement process needs to change.
Most businesses are fully set up in under 15 minutes for a single site. Multi-site operations typically take 30–60 minutes. We help you personally — book a walkthrough and we'll set everything up together on a 20-minute call.
EthicalHub supports all food business classes under the Victorian Food Act 1984 — Class 1 (highest risk: childcare, hospitals, aged care), Class 2 (cafés, restaurants, caterers), Class 3 (bakeries, delis, limited prep), and Class 4 (lowest risk: pre-packaged only). Tell us your class during setup and the platform configures your requirements automatically.
Yes. All production data is hosted on Australian servers (Supabase Sydney region). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never share your data with third parties or advertisers.
Food safety consultants use EthicalHub free of charge. You build the Food Safety Program in the platform, then send your client an invite link. Once they register, you can view their compliance dashboard, sign off corrective actions remotely, and generate dated audit reports. Your clients subscribe — you manage from your dashboard at no cost.
Yes. No lock-in contracts. Cancel anytime from your account settings. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of your current billing period, and you can export all your data before leaving.

Ready when the auditor arrives.
Not after.

Start free. Most businesses are audit-ready within 15 minutes of setup.

No credit card. No commitment. Cancel anytime.

The big picture

Three things. That's all it takes.

EthicalHub is designed around how childcare centres actually operate — not how compliance textbooks say they should.

1Setup
Upload your current suppliers
Add your existing vendors and upload their current certificates. You don't need new suppliers. You don't need a marketplace. Use who you already buy from.
Takes about 15 minutes total
2Daily
Log deliveries as they arrive
When a delivery lands, your staff record the temperature and press confirm. That's it. EthicalHub does the rest — linking to the invoice, supplier cert, and staff record automatically.
Under 30 seconds per delivery
3Audit
Export your audit pack in 60 seconds
When an authorised officer walks in, you click one button. A complete, timestamped compliance file is generated and ready to hand over. No scrambling. No searching.

Supplier Setup

Your certificates are always current. Automatically.

Upload your supplier list once. Add their HACCP certificates, public liability insurance, and any other required documents. EthicalHub monitors every expiry date and alerts you before a certificate lapses — not after an auditor finds it.

Upload HACCP, insurance, Modern Slavery statements, and allergen declarations
Automatic expiry alerts sent to you before a certificate lapses
Version history shows exactly what was current at time of each delivery
Risk rating assigned per supplier based on certificate completeness
You keep your existing suppliers and ordering process. EthicalHub layers compliance monitoring on top — nothing changes operationally.

Daily Delivery Logging

Your staff log the delivery.
EthicalHub does the rest.

When a delivery arrives, your team opens EthicalHub on a tablet or phone, enters the temperature reading, and hits confirm. The system automatically links the delivery to the correct supplier certificate, invoice reference, and staff member — creating a complete, timestamped compliance record.

Temperature automatically checked against safe thresholds — breach triggers corrective action immediately
Supplier certificate validity confirmed at exact time of delivery
Staff member automatically recorded against every entry
Works on tablet or phone — optimised for kitchen use
A delivery log takes under 30 seconds to complete. Staff need zero knowledge of VECRA or HACCP requirements.

FSS & Staff Records

Never get caught with an expired FSS certificate.

Your Food Safety Supervisor certificate is a legal requirement under VECRA. EthicalHub stores every FSS certificate digitally, tracks its expiry date, and sends you automatic renewal reminders — so it never lapses without you knowing.

Store FSS certificates for every relevant staff member
Automatic countdown alerts — 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry
Staff training records including Working with Children checks (Pro)
All records instantly included in your one-click audit pack
An expired FSS certificate is one of the most common VECRA deficiency findings in Victorian childcare. EthicalHub makes it impossible to miss.

Corrective Actions

Every breach is documented.
Every action is tracked.

When something goes wrong — a delivery arrives too warm, a certificate lapses, a non-conformance is identified — EthicalHub automatically creates a corrective action record. You assign it, track it, and close it out with full documentation. Auditors need to see this trail.

Temperature breaches auto-create a corrective action — nothing falls through the cracks
Assign actions to specific staff members with due dates
Close-out timestamps and notes create a complete audit trail
All corrective actions included in audit pack export automatically
VECRA auditors look specifically for documented corrective actions. Having no record is worse than having had the breach — it means you have no documented response process.

Monthly Sign-Off

One signature. Full month
of compliance confirmed.

At the end of each month, EthicalHub presents a summary of all delivery logs, supplier certificate statuses, corrective actions, and FSS records. You review and sign off digitally. That signature becomes part of your permanent compliance record.

Monthly summary auto-generated — nothing for you to compile
Digital director signature with timestamp creates a formal record
Any open corrective actions flagged for review before sign-off
All monthly sign-offs stored and included in audit pack
Monthly sign-offs show auditors that your director is actively overseeing compliance — not just relying on staff to manage it unsupervised.

Common questions

Everything you're wondering
before you start.

Most centres are fully set up and logging their first deliveries within 30 minutes. The initial setup involves adding your supplier list and uploading existing certificates — we help you through this on a personal onboarding call included with every plan.
No. Your staff just log the delivery — enter the temperature and hit confirm. They don't need to understand HACCP, VECRA, or any regulatory framework. The compliance logic runs in the background automatically.
No. EthicalHub works alongside your existing suppliers. You keep ordering from whoever you currently use. We just add compliance monitoring on top of your existing relationships — there's no marketplace or switching required.
The audit pack includes: all supplier certificates with version history, complete delivery logs with temperature readings and staff records, FSS certificates and staff training records, all corrective actions with close-out documentation, and all monthly director sign-offs. It's structured specifically for VECRA auditors — not just a data dump.
EthicalHub automatically creates a corrective action record when a breach is detected. You assign it to a staff member, document the disposition (e.g. product isolated, supplier contacted), and close it out with a timestamp. This documented response process is exactly what auditors look for.
The Multi-Site plan gives you a unified dashboard across all locations — one compliance score, one supplier vault, one group-level audit pack. You can see compliance status for every centre at a glance and generate a single audit pack covering all sites simultaneously.
All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, stored on Australian servers, and never shared with or sold to third parties. We follow Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988. Your compliance data belongs to you — export it anytime.
