  COVID SAFE PLAN

  We’ve implemented the following measures to help you shop safely in-store. We will review and adapt these in-store measures as the environment evolves.
  
  

  Mandatory QR code check-in

  Some states have mandated QR code check-ins via the official Government App. Please refer to your Local State Government for more information (Australia.gov.au).
  
  Mandatory face coverings in-store 

  Some states have introduced mandatory mask-wearing indoors. Please refer to your Local State Government for more information (Australia.gov.au).
  
  Maintain 1.5 metres apart from each other where possible

  Social distancing tape will be placed around our floors and seating areas. These can be found throughout the store as reminders, as well as areas where you may be required to queue.
  
  Use EFTPOS/Paywave/Tap n Go services available

  We strongly encourage you to use your card or phone to tap and pay instead of cash, whenever possible.
  
  Use a sanitisation station upon entering the store

  A team member will be at the entry door to offer hand sanitiser which all customers will be required to use before entering the store.
  
  Regular cleaning routines throughout the entire store

  We apply the highest standard of cleanliness and hygiene across our stores. We have increased the routine cleaning of frequently touched hard surfaces.
  
  Remove and put on your own footwear

  Our team will still be available to assist you with any sizing questions you may have, however they will maintain a 1.5-metre distance to comply with social distancing. Our stores will have disposable try on socks and gloves available for customers.
  
  Training for team members on social distancing and additional hygiene measures

  All team members will be required to complete ongoing training courses.

  
  Thank you for playing your part in helping us practise social distancing. We appreciate your continued support as we work through this together.

  We hope to see you in-store or online soon.
