With a wide range of members in our community, it is a priority of Victory Offices to minimise as much disruption to your business, so we are here to support you and your teams.

In compliance with the lockdown restrictions and our COVID-safe plan, building passes are required to gain access to your office, so please call us on if you have any issues.

STEP UP TO BREAST CANCER

This year, to help raise awareness and as much donations as possible to help fight the battle against breast cancer, National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) are running the Step Up To Breast Cancer campaign next month.

The goal? 10,000 steps per day for the whole month of August! Are you ready to step up to the challenge?

Victory Offices has created a team to help our entire community to get involved. And you don’t need to wait until August to register; you can start raising donations now, and then start counting your steps on 1st August.

There will be some amazing prizes offered throughout the month for those that can raise some big donations and those that smash the 10,000 steps a day out of the park. So keep your eyes peeled on our socials and the member portal for updates throughout August!

So how do you register? Here’s a handy little guide to make it easy for you

NATIONAL LAMINGTON DAY

DID YOU KNOW?

This Australian culinary icon, which consists of sponge cake dipped in chocolate and liberally sprinkled with fine desiccated coconut, was created through an accident at work by a maid-servant to Lord Lamington, the thoroughly-British eighth Governor of Queensland.
The maid-servant was working at Government House in Brisbane when she accidentally dropped the Governor’s favourite sponge cake into some melted chocolate.
 
Lord Lamington was not a person of wasteful habits and suggested that it be dipped in coconut to cover the chocolate to avoid messy fingers.
Lord Lamington devoured this new taste sensation with great delight and the maid-servant’s error was proclaimed a magnificent success by all! The Governor however is on the record as calling them those bloody poofy woolly biscuits.
 
And so, every year on July 21st, National Lamington Day celebrates Australia’s most famous culinary icon, the Aussie lamington. The day also encourages people to eat a lamington while spreading the word about this tasty cake.
 
Despite the great Australian debate on whether to enjoy a lamington with a jam layer, or just the yummy sponge, the one thing to focus on, is that you enjoy them with those around you! And spread the word about the delicious lamington on social media with #NationalLamingtonDay.
 
Here are a couple of recipe ideas if you’re in the cooking mood. Or you know your local grocery will surely have some in stock! #supportlocal
