As the premier industry organisation, the Australian Culinary Federation (ACF) proudly represents professional Chefs, Cooks, Young Chefs, Apprentices, and Culinary Students, prioritising their needs and aspirations across all areas of the cooking and hospitality sectors.
At the heart of their mission lies a steadfast commitment to supporting their members and fostering their professional growth. Through a range of tailored initiatives, they provide specific member support, including workshops led by industry professionals, personalised mentoring programmes, online learning hubs and resources focused on mental health awareness, social responsibility, and sustainability. Their goal is to equip members with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to excel in their careers and contribute positively to the culinary community.
In addition to providing member support, ACF also actively participate in and provide guidance on the establishment, maintenance, and enhancement of national and international Culinary Competitions. These competitions, aligned with the benchmark standards set by the World Association of Chef’s Societies (WACS), offer their members valuable opportunities for growth, recognition, and skill development.
At the Australian Culinary Federation, members are at the heart of everything they do.
