The Australian Culinary Federation Culinary Committee is made up of  representatives from each region that are in turn the senior judge of that region .

Their focus is running successful competitions either Regionally or Nationally under the competition guidelines of Worldchefs.

The Committee runs several regional judging workshops as well as one national judges workshop a year with the aim to create a consistent judging style and system across our country and a pathway to Worldchefs Judging credential.

Competitions are also endorsed by the  ACF through the Culinary Committee where the criteria is either written or checked and signed off by the committee.

Meeting Schedule

The Culinary Committee meets the 3rd Saturday of each Month at 11am

Please contact your region representative if you have business for the committee
