Need someone to shop on your behalf?
We provide a safe and accessible personalised shopping service for eligible people. This service aims to help those who would prefer to stay at home and are unable to order their groceries through other means such as online ordering.
From just $5.00 an hour a St John Qld support worker will attend your chosen supermarket within your local suburb and personally shop for your requested items, ensuring that you receive the freshest products from your favourite brands along with quality service. Our support workers take the time to ensure the items they select meet your personal needs and requirements.
* Personalised shopping services are subject to availability. Service available in Brisbane south, Brisbane north, Toowoomba, Maryborough, Hervey Bay, Bundaberg and Townsville to eligible clients through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme. Service operates Monday-Friday (excluding public holidays). St John Qld support workers are not able to unpack your groceries for you. Maximum of 4 bag limit applies. Clients will be charged for the cost of the shopping bags.
