Dear Team,
We know the current fuel situation and global uncertainty is creating some concern. We are closely monitoring developments and will continue to share updates and look at options to support our teams.
Our Fuel Governance Group meets weekly to monitor the situation and assess risks. There is no change to Whiddon’s operations at this time, and we’re following government advice and adjusting our approach as needed.
Practical steps you can take
- Check local fuel availability at: https://checkpetrol.com.au/
- Where possible, fill up earlier in the day
- Avoid panic buying – only purchase what you reasonably need
- Minimise non‑essential travel and combine trips
- Maintain vehicles and tyre pressure to improve fuel efficiency
- Avoid having unnecessary items in your car that can increase fuel use.
Thank you for continuing to look out for one another while keeping our focus on the people we support. If you are experiencing any challenges, please discuss these with your manager.
We’ll keep you informed as things evolve.
