Easy Halal Consultancy

MUIS usually processes a complete application in about six weeks. How long the whole journey takes depends on how ready your premises, suppliers and paperwork are when we start. We work to get your application right the first time and avoid delays.

You'll need your business registration details, your premises information, and records for your ingredients and suppliers, among other supporting documents. We'll give you a tailored checklist and help you put everything in order, so you aren't left guessing.

Not always. Many of the ingredients you use now may already qualify. We'll review your ingredient list and suppliers, flag anything that needs attention, and suggest suitable alternatives where needed, with as little disruption to your menu as possible.

MUIS officers visit your premises to check that your operations meet its halal requirements. We prepare you and your team in advance, so you know what to expect and can approach the audit with confidence.

No. Halal certification is open to any F&B business that meets MUIS requirements, whoever the owner is. Many non-Muslim-owned businesses get certified to welcome more customers and grow their market.

MUIS certifies a wide range of businesses, including restaurants, cafes, food stalls, snack bars, bakeries, caterers, central kitchens and food manufacturers. Each type comes under a different MUIS scheme, and we'll identify the right one for you.

It depends on your type of business. A small stall, snack bar or bakery needs one trained owner's representative and at least one permanent Muslim staff member. Restaurants, chain outlets and most other businesses need a small halal team, led by a Halal Team Leader and a Muslim Halal Assurance Officer, who are both MUIS-trained, and usually at least two permanent Muslim staff. Caterers and central kitchens need at least three. We'll tell you exactly what your business needs.

Changes to your menu, ingredients or suppliers may need to be reported to MUIS. Talk to us before you make changes, and we'll advise you on keeping your certification in good standing.

You can apply to MUIS yourself. Many business owners still choose a consultant to save time, avoid costly mistakes and lower the risk of rejection or delays. We handle the complexity so you can focus on running your business.

Delays usually happen when something is missing or a requirement isn't met. If it happens, we'll work with you to fix the issue quickly and get your application moving again. Our preparation is designed to keep these setbacks to a minimum.

MUIS halal certification is renewed every year. MUIS starts the renewal automatically about 120 days before your certificate expires, and we can support you through renewals to keep your certification valid.

Our end-to-end service starts from $1,800 and goes up to $2,800, depending on how complex your case is. It's a flat fee with no GST, and most clients stay within that range. Only very complex cases go above $2,800. MUIS fees are separate and paid directly to MUIS. They include an application fee of $159, or $340 for express, and an annual certification fee, which is $775 for a restaurant of up to 186 square metres. Each required staff member also takes the Halal Competency Assessment, which costs $125 plus GST and can be paid with SkillsFuture credits. MUIS fees are before GST.
