New West Foods is named Australian Foodservice Distributor of the Year at the FSAA National Awards of Excellence, as Kerry Smith enters the Hall of Fame and RATIONAL Australia's iHexagon oven takes out Foodservice Innovation of the Year.

FSAA Today & Tomorrow Conference - where foodservice looks forward. A day for operators, suppliers, manufacturers and chefs who want a clear read on the year ahead and the one after that.

In an industry facing unprecedented change, from rising costs and labour shortages to sustainability reform and evolving customer expectations, one thing has never been more important: connection.

That’s why the role of FoodService Association Australia (FSAA) continues to grow in both importance and influence. FSAA has become the meeting point for the foodservice supply chain, bringing together manufacturers, distributors, service providers and operators to ensure the industry remains connected, informed and future focused.

The Foodservice Association Australia (FSAA) is pleased to welcome Gary O’Brien as Chair of Sustainability and ESG, stepping into the role following the outstanding contribution of Eugene Visione who has served our Board and industry for almost a decade.

Leadership matters – and so does who sits around the table. The FSAA Board is deliberately composed of C-suite and senior executives who are not only deeply experienced but actively shaping the future of foodservice in Australia. These are the decision makers, innovators and industry leaders driving change across manufacturing, distribution and service provision.

Held before more than 420 guests, the 2025 FSAA National Awards of Excellence was a showcase of passion, innovation and commitment, bringing together manufacturers, distributors, service providers and operators from across Australia to applaud the achievements of our peers.

For nearly two decades the Foodservice Association Australia (FSAA) has proudly championed the future of our industry through its training and scholarship programs. What began as a commitment to support emerging talent has grown into one of the most impactful initiatives in Australian foodservice, shaping the careers of tomorrow’s leaders and reinforcing the value of lifelong learning.

As the voice of Australia’s foodservice supply chain, the Foodservice Association Australia (FSAA) continues to play a vital role in representing our members on the key issues shaping our industry. The past few months have seen a focus on government consultation and policy engagement, with FSAA participating in a number of regulatory discussions that could have far reaching implications for foodservice suppliers.
