To say thank you to Australia’s First Responders for their hard work keeping us safe during the COVID-19 crisis, we’re supporting @AustralianRetailersAssociation #FirstRespondersDay by offering an extra 5% off Computers, 10% off Phones, and 15% Off all other departments to First Responders who visit our stores.

This offer is only available to First Responders. First responders include medical and healthcare workers: nurses, doctors, paramedics and ambulance/paramedic staff, police personnel, firefighters, defence force personnel, border force personnel, SES, CFA, marine rescue teams, lifesavers, surgeons and hospital staff & quarantine workers. We ask that First Responders bring a Photo ID which shows their work identity. Alternatively, they can shop in their work uniform. Due to Australian Federal Police (AFP) policy, AFP Members will need to identify themselves using their association card or a digital/printed First Responders Day email from the Australian Federal Police Association (AFPA), rather than their AFP photo ID or police uniform.

Not available for online purchases. Discount offer excludes Apple, Dyson, DJI, Gaming consoles, Mobile phone contracts & subscriptions, Miele & Asko agency products, Dell Built to Order, Pre-Paid Cards & Gift Cards, Pre-Orders, Extended Warranties, Installation & Delivery. Discounts apply to most recent previous ticketed/advertised price. As we negotiate on price, products are likely to have sold below ticketed/advertised price in stores prior to the discount offer. Offers not available at Airport & Express stores.

About First Responders Day

All participating Retailers: https://www.retail.org.au/firstrespondersday

First Responders Day takes place for one day only on the last Thursday in June, this year being 30 June 2022!

This event encourages retailers large and small to combine their efforts and thank first responders for their courage, commitment and contribution to protecting our Australian community during time of crisis by offering a special discount to these workers at all participating Australian retailers.

Our first responders are ordinary people with an extraordinary commitment to protecting and saving others. Some work in the field day-to-day, some follow the call-to-action to assist during times of crisis, the common thread is our first responders all selflessly dedicate their time and lives to protect and save others.

​First Responders Day is an online and in-store event to encourage first responders to connect with the retail industry so we can say “thank you” for their efforts in protecting our community.

    Healthcare worker but not a first responder so it feels wrong to take advantage of these offers. Ideally they should be for everyone I think.

    • happydude on 23/06/2022 - 13:30

      You're not standing in line for a medal you don't deserve, it's a discount that will only cut into the profit margin of a multibillion dollar retailer. As a volunteer first responder, I don't care.

      • Clear on 23/06/2022 - 13:38

        When you put it like that it's not so bad. There's been a lot of that hero American bs lately.

          They are definitely still making a profit. TBH, this is largely a marketing ploy.

          If these companies pay their fair share of taxes, etc so that hospitals/police/schools can be adequately resourced and so people aren't overworked and underpaid that would go a long way.

          Gotta be a bit skeptical. End of financial year clearance time. Good way to get good publicity and clear stock.

            @[Deactivated]: This is also true. At the end of the day it's encouraging people to come in and spend money. Good for profits.

              @Clear: yeah. will need to wait and see what the deals are like. I'm sure they will be some bargains.

              I work part time in a hospital and not sure if you feel the same but I feel these publicity stunts take attention away from the real need for more money and better management of resources. There's ambulances parked outside the hospital 24/7 these days and that used to be rare where I work. :O

                @[Deactivated]: What JB should really being doing is donating the 5/10/15% saved to emergency services and other organisations that need it. In my state ambulance ramping is a major daily issue. There's never enough beds and with only a couple of private emergency down south it causes a lot of issues.

      • Clear on 23/06/2022 - 14:17
        +7

        A lot of sympathy for fast food workers there. Part of the reason why I think it'd be more fair to offer these discounts to everyone. All professions have played a significant role in COVID and many have lost their jobs over it.

      • [Deactivated] on 23/06/2022 - 14:17
        +1

        Everyone works hard. I'm always impressed by the staff at my local macca's. (Maintaining efficiency, putting on a friendly face etc despite how busy it gets and how rude people can be).

        To be fair many of these professions have an element of altruism. People aren't simply doing it for the money. I have friends who are nurses etc who you could pay more to do another job but they really take pride in helping people.

      • R3XNebular on 23/06/2022 - 16:40
        +6

        I don't think a McDonald's worker is going to be exposed to the same trauma a first responder will be exposed to… Not down playing a maccas job but they arent going to be making life saving decisions anytime soon…

      • soulink on 24/06/2022 - 10:54
        +2

        When was the last time a maccas worker responded to a suicide, death at a collision, family violence, ongoing physical assualts and critical incident decision making within seconds and is then expected to do it again and again shift after shift. The level of trauma exposure is what makes a first responder worthy of said recognition and your comparison is extremely far from relatable.

        In saying that working at maccas is very traumatic and flipping burgers or emptying the fries baskets is very hard…

  • King Steuart on 23/06/2022 - 13:24

    Waiting for a mega thread, also can first responders go to Costco this year or do they still need a membership and just get one-day 'specials'?

    There are a few stores listing their deals through this link but you need to scroll over them to see which URL's include first responder in them, and even then they can be touch and go. I'm hoping for another catalog in the coming days.

          Hence the phrase volunteer so they know what they're getting into. Though when I was a volunteer firefighter we did get paid for the major bushfires requiring us to be away from home for a period of time.

            @Clear: No doubt we all know what we're getting ourselves into, and the material expense of being a volunteer is what we accept for helping our community, learning, making friends, etc.

            Great to hear you had the opportunity to be paid for major bushfire operations! Great work that the team does :)

            @Clear: I doubt you mean it this way, but whether you expect to be compensated or not for your role in emergency services has no bearing on whether you deserve it in general (up to a 15% discount from a huge corporation) which was the comment in question.

            • Clear on 23/06/2022 - 13:53
              -3

              @brosk1s: My point is that if you're volunteering then you shouldn't expect to get paid because then it's not volunteering.

                +1

                @Clear: And that is relevant to a reply stating that many emergency services personnel are volunteers to a comment stating "They don't even deserve it in general. They get paid for what they do anyway" because?

                  @brosk1s: Paid workers get paid for doing their job. Volunteer workers go into their volunteer jobs expecting not to be paid for their work. If they expect to be paid for volunteering then they're in the wrong profession and should shift into paid work.

                  We need plenty more career firefighters and paramedics in my state for example.

                    @Clear: Are you purposefully being obtuse? What impact does being paid or not have on whether they deserve any good-will discounts or not.

                      @brosk1s: Volunteers shouldn't expect to get paid. It's volunteer work. What's your point?

                      Volunteer emergency services are the same as any others and deserve recognition and are well within their rights to get these discounts. As an 'emergency services' worker I fully support this. You're acting like I'm against it.

              @[Deactivated]: I've spent silly amounts on torches over the years (WA SES). Admittedly that's because better ones are always coming out and it's handy to do a quick sweep of a footy pitch sized area in a few seconds rather than the few minutes it would take to walk it using the weak helmet lights we are issued.

                @banana365: Speaking of helmet lights….I don't need a HP30R V2.0, and it's lowest settings going to blow my nuts off in the truck. But I want A fenix HP30R V2.0.

                I have a HP25R though, that can get across a footy pitch, but I spend 90% of my time with the flood on medium.

                And the IF22A is the tiny backup bag light that throws even further.

        SES, CFA, and many other orgs are unpaid volunteers that usually chip in quite a bit of their own money for extra gear, fuel, not to mention their time.

        Nurses and such just worked through a pandemic, including well before vaccination was available.

    Due to Australian Federal Police (AFP) policy, AFP Members will need to identify themselves using their association card or a digital/printed First Responders Day email from the Australian Federal Police Association (AFPA), rather than their AFP photo ID or police uniform.

    They must have a strict anti bribery and corruption policy.

    • Benoffie on 23/06/2022 - 14:23

      No its because outside of the ACT, they are plain clothes and very often involved in surveillance. They don't have a uniform (that they regularly wear) and announcing themselves publicly puts them at risk.
