COVID-19 Updates:
- We have now marked front counter to ensure social distancing
- We’ll try and go “cash-less” as soon as possible in anticipation for the school holidays
- We’ll also use “gloves” from now on
- When offering to “sign” for parcels, please ensure you “ask” to sign and not just “tell” customers that you are signing on their behalf
- Regarding general queries for high demand stock, unfortunately, demand will/has outstripped supply, so we will stop taking orders effective immediately as we’re spending way too much time answering questions for which we don’t have answers – please respond courteously by stating that we are unable to confirm when or if further supplies will be available
- Also attached is a “5 Tips for Dealing with Difficult Customers” flyer that you might find useful at this difficult time
- We have also placed a hand sanitizer dispenser at the counter for customers
Please remember to keep a good distance from customers at all times, wash your hands at least every 30 mins
Thanks to VANA Director Gerard Attwood on COVID19 – BEST RETAIL PRACTICE.

Overview of cases

This graph shows the number of confirmed cases by notification date. Interpret the most recently reported new cases shown in the graph with caution as there can be delays in reporting.
To date, most confirmed cases are considered to have been acquired overseas although a large proportion are still under investigation to understand the source of infection.

The majority of Australian confirmed cases acquired overseas had a recent history of travel to Europe or the Americas.

Confirmed cases are seen across all age groups.
