Solution to feeding a team!

With the shortage of cooks & chefs able to travel to remote locations or deal with feeding shift workers, we have stepped up to provide our meals in bulk for these situations. Our meals are supplied frozen & can be stored for up to 12 months (from date of production).

'You can order up to 150 meals immediately without preordering or lead times.'

For more than 150 meals, contact us on 0406 141 682 or email us at mymeals@icooked.com.au

Tax Deductibility

As of June 2024 we were advised that the provision of meals to employees by an employer, if provided on-site (at workplace) and the purpose is not for social reasons, is tax deductible and no fringe benefits apply.

This was general advice only, please check with your own accountant regarding your specific eligibility for tax deductibility based on your business circumstances.

 

Managing the Risk of Psychosocial Hazards at Work Code of Practice 2022

On the 1st of April 2024, Managing the Risk of Psychosocial Hazards at Work Code of Practice came into effect. This code applies to all work & workplaces across Australia. Employees are now responsible for managing employee psychosocial hazards related to:

    • the way the tasks or job are designed, organised, managed and supervised
    • tasks or jobs where there are inherent psychosocial hazards and risks
    • the equipment, working environment or requirements to undertake duties in physically hazardous environments, and
    • social factors at work, workplace relationships and social interactions.

If you are looking for ways to demonstrate your commitment & implementation of this code in your business, our meals have the potential to:

  • Control or reduce psychosocial risks 
  • Promote self-care & balance
  • Support workers in remote workplace or on shift rosters

Our meals are delicious, wholesome, filled with quality ingredients & made in Toowoomba in small batches.
