As we continue to say thank you for all the great work that you do, we’re offering free potato cakes at our major sites and free ice cream at our community sites this week (Monday 9 May to Friday 13 May).
Take a break with a potato cake!
You asked, we delivered! Due to popular demand, we’re offering employees at our major sites a free potato cake.
Here’s what you need to do…
- Take note of the dates, times, and location (below) that the free potato cakes will be available at your site
- Nominate one team member to collect a tray of potato cakes and deliver them to your team’s area and enjoy!
- To help things run smoothly, avoid individually queuing up for one potato cake at a time and gathering in large crowds around the area

Health and wellbeing resources
We continue to prioritise the wellbeing of all our employees, and have a number of ongoing initiatives available to help you.
Foods like potato cakes and ice cream are a ‘sometimes food’ and should be consumed occasionally.
To maintain good health, it is important to consume a balanced diet and engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity every day.
For information, resources, and materials on healthy eating and physical activity, visit the Healthy Mind and Body Hub and access the Physical health resources on the employee COVID-19 website.
This initiative is supported by the Victorian Government’s Department of Health Be Well Be Safe Program, providing increased health and wellbeing support for healthcare workers during COVID-19. For further details and to stay informed about the latest initiatives, visit the Be Well Be Safe Program webpage.
