Is there any change to the Points Demerit System (PDS)?

Updated by SFA
No, there is no change to the PDS. Demerit points are assigned to retail food establishments when they commit food safety offences. Licences may be suspended or revoked when 12 or more demerit points are accumulated within a 12-month period. Under the SAFE framework, the licensee's SAFE grade will be downgraded to 'C' when their licence is suspended.
