Helpful links and resources related to COVID-19

We're facing an unprecedented time, with people around the world feeling the impact of COVID-19. The situation is changing every day, and we're doing what we can to take care of our team, customers and community. Here are the actions we've taken so far:

  • To help support our local healthcare workers we have pledged to donate cakes to several of our local Victorian hospitals. More details and updates to follow.
  • Our entire team are self-isolating and have moved to remote work where possible (we still go to the factory to pick and pack orders) #stayinghome 
  • Our team has maintained regular hours to continue providing uninterrupted support to our customers.
  • We've compiled a list of helpful resources (below) that can help you face new challenges and protect yourself and those around you as well as some uplifting websites and fun hashtags to follow.
  • In addition to our standard hygiene and OHS practices we are now regularly sanitising all surfaces and equipment including our shipping boxes.
