Dear Members,

VIC COVID-19 Update

Newsagents are an essential service.

Newsagents have been classed as an essential service.

Minister Horne has just confirmed this with me.

We encourage all members to extend operating hours in the next 7 days.

If you are a Tatts Kiosk you are deemed as non-essential and will need to close for 7 days.

We will keep all members up to date as a matter of urgency.

Yours sincerely,

Brendan Tohill | Chief Executive Officer
