Coles Supermarkets Implement Exclusive Shopping Hours For Healthcare Workers
At a time where the majority of us are staying home to preserve our health, brave healthcare and emergency service workers are asked to stand on the front line of Covid-19 and take responsibility for those at risk.
Coles Supermarkets are now acknowledging those who are protecting our community by making the first hour of trade (7-8 am) on Tuesdays and Thursdays exclusive to emergency services and healthcare workers.
Starting this Thursday, doctors, nurses, paramedics, hospital and ambulance staff, police, firefighters and emergency services who hold an AHPRA card, have a workplace ID or are wearing their work uniform, will be eligible for the exclusive shopping hour.
While registered nurses (RN’s) and enrolled nurses (EN’s) working in aged care have AHRPA identification which makes their eligibility very clear, unfortunately, the criteria are not as clear for other aged care workers who deserve the same respect.
