Application for Certification

Steps to Accreditation

Read the Humane Choice Rules and  Standards applicable to your operation

• Critically appraise your operation
• Talk it over with us if you have any questions
  
•  Make an application

This online application is for those producers wishing to apply under the small farms program.

  You can contact the Farm Compliance Manager on 02 65627374.

For Processor Licenses an online application is available on this page Processor License Application

If you are already a member of Humane Choice e.g. Small Producer Group, you will need to log into your account and go to your profile page (log in box at bottom of screen) and select the 'Change Membership' level in that section.

Farms must be inspected by an independent third party auditor before accreditation can be given.  Only productions systems that are already in place can be included in your certification.  Certified farms are also subject to random visits by a representative of Humane Choice.

Certified - Partnered members must forward each year as they fall due, a copy of their third party current audit report and certificate of certification for membership to remain valid.

Applications will be processed upon receipt of payment of fees.

Please read the Standards carefully as refunds cannot be given once an application has been accepted and audit has been arranged. 

Refunds given prior to acceptance will incur a 20% administration fee.
