Every year on the last Thursday of June, First Responders Day is celebrated to honour the bravery, dedication, and contribution of first responders in protecting the Australian community during times of crisis. This year, it falls on 29 June 2023.

The event aims to bring together retailers, big and small, to show their appreciation to first responders by providing special offers to these workers at all participating Australian retail stores.

First responders are ordinary people who display extraordinary courage in the face of danger to protect and save others. Whether they work in the field daily or respond to emergency situations as needed, they all share a selfless commitment to serving the community.

First Responders Day is an online and in-store event that fosters closer connections between first responders and the retail industry. By extending a heartfelt “thank you” to these heroes, we acknowledge their essential role in safeguarding our society.

    Would have been great to have something at ebay and/or amazon as well.

  • Tiggrrrrr on 26/06/2023 - 18:20

    Does this include disability support workers and Aged Care?

    • Lynden11 on 26/06/2023 - 18:23

      No it does not

      Aged care is fair enough but disability support is an absolute fraud of an industry.

        Genuine question. But why is this?

        • omblygombly on 29/06/2023 - 10:07

          I am on the NDIS. They have a maximum price list that people can charge for their respective service - cleaner, gardener, carer, physio, etc. A prime example of rorting the system was when I saw a physio about 6 months ago, they charged $75 for an hour. When I mentioned that I have NDIS funding, they gave me a printed price list of what they charge through the NDIS. It was over $22 an hour! I never went back.

      • Tiggrrrrr on 26/06/2023 - 19:25

        The industry is inherently flawed, yes. There are too many shonky con-artists who can call themselves "NDIS Providers" and then hire unskilled Uber drivers as support workers. Gives the industry a bad name.

        • jm7 on 26/06/2023 - 22:20

          I met a lady who said the government pays up to $90/hr for NDIS services so all the providers charge $90/hr for everything (cleaning, gardening, support workers, etc). Basically the providers pay these people peanuts and pocket ~$60/hr for each service. It's such a rort.

            @jm7: $90 on weekdays. Lot more on the weekends.

    • jhaley3180 on 27/06/2023 - 09:31

      Are disability and aged care workers first responders?

      • Tiggrrrrr on 27/06/2023 - 17:53

        They've been included in previous offers. So was curious.

  • Yaren24 on 26/06/2023 - 18:23

    Do they give coupons?

    • Royale with cheese on 26/06/2023 - 18:24

      I think you waive your ID

      • Yaren24 on 26/06/2023 - 18:25

        What if buying it online?

        • Royale with cheese on 26/06/2023 - 18:26

          Unfortunately, there are no means to check First Responder identity online so the retailer can decide to make this an in-store event only.

          • Yaren24 on 26/06/2023 - 18:26

            @Royale with cheese: Is it just for one day?

            • Royale with cheese on 26/06/2023 - 18:27

              @Yaren24: Promotions are at the discretion of the individual retailer, however we have selected Thursday as timing given the late night shopping provisions in most areas. Some participants may wish to extend their offering over the weekend. Please contact the participating store to enquire.

              Just copying from FAQ 😅

    how do they verify if you are actually a 1st responder? can i just say i am a first responder and get the discount?

    • Diverse on 26/06/2023 - 19:27

      ID badge seems obvious?

    • happydude on 26/06/2023 - 19:47

      There is an FAQ.

      How will store staff vet identities?

      We are asking First Responders to bring a Photo ID that shows their work identity. Alternatively, they can shop in their work uniform (including cap or top), or provide proof of identity through online platforms like email or member portal. This will ensure your staff can adequately identify the customer’s eligibility.

      • Deal-Sniper on 26/06/2023 - 20:08

        So would a standard GOV ID work if I say I work in a hospital?

        • PCHammond on 26/06/2023 - 20:18
          +2

          Not sure if youre actually a first responder, but all the public hospitals that I have been to (many) for work have specific LHD IDs, not a generic government ID

      • Tiggrrrrr on 27/06/2023 - 17:56

        Alternatively, they can shop in their work uniform (including cap or top)

          Well that was fun to click at work.

  • browser on 26/06/2023 - 19:26

    It says AMEX accepted under Costco logo, when they do not. Or only for first responders?

      Lots of us were forced to work face to face with the public when COVID was really scary and politicians were hiding in their castles. We also miss out but that's life. Nothing but respect for those in the medical field, especially those who worked in covid wards

      • Jp1992 on 26/06/2023 - 21:31

        You are aware aged care and disability support workers do deliver direct care to Covid positive patients? The most horrific scenes during covid were from nursing homes. Most Covid positive residents are treated within the nursing home and not in hospital

        • belongsinforums on 26/06/2023 - 21:34
          +3

          Yes of course. Also well aware of the stories of nurses and doctors desperately trying to save people and helplessly watching them die of something mostly preventable. Same reason paramedics and cops are heroes. Cant imagine picking up body parts off the road, or even seeing them. That's gotta do numbers on your brain.

          • Jp1992 on 26/06/2023 - 21:43

            @belongsinforums: Which is why support workers should be included.Thats why i said it’s contentious especially when this came to be because of Covid

            • belongsinforums on 26/06/2023 - 21:55

              @Jp1992: My family member works in aged care. They definitely don't get enough pay.

      Pretty sure they're not excluded. If they are First Responders they can claim the offer.
