Since its inception in October 2016, the HARPS Helpline has been a service available to all industry members, free of charge. The Helpline aims to assist suppliers and growers involved in HARPS.
All calls to the 1300 Helpline number or emails to harps@harpsonline.com.au are responded to by a One Direction ANZ representative.
There are a range of questions that come through to the Helpline number, including, getting started with HARPS, which Certification Bodies can conduct audits for their business, what training requirements are necessary in order to meet the HARPS requirements, as well as questions relating to the interpretation of the standard.
Importantly, the HARPS Helpline is a service available to you if you are faced with an issue or would like to raise a complaint.
Any enquiry to the HARPS can be treated as confidential, that being said, if you would like your feedback passed on to the HARPS Retailer Committee this can be facilitated by our Helpline facility.
Alternatively, you can email HARPS at harps@harpsonline.com.au or complete an enquiry form, by clicking here.
