Food business risk classification and fees
Food businesses in the Northern Territory (NT) are classified using the NT food business risk classification framework.
The fee to register or renew your food business depends on your business' risk classification.
Risk classifications
There are four classification categories based on risk level:
- priority 1 (P1)
- priority 2 (P2)
- priority 3 (P3)
- priority 4 (P4).
The classification depends on the inherent food safety risks that exist in your food business. The highest risk category is P1 and the lowest is P4.

How your business is classified
Your food business will be assessed and assigned a risk classification by an Environmental Health Officer as part of your next inspection.
Risk categories are determined by the types of food and the processes used by your business.
Fees
You need to pay a registration fee for each premises where your food business operates. This does not include the different locations of mobile food premises.
Fees are set in revenue units, which change every year in line with the consumer price index (CPI).
You pay your fee when you register or renew your food business online.
