Melbourne Metro Stage 3 Restrictions Reapplied

The Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, has just announced a lockdown of all of metropolitan Melbourne as the state recorded its largest daily increase in COVID cases (191) today since the start of the pandemic.

Stay-at-home orders have been reintroduced for 6 weeks, placing Melbourne local government areas and the shire of Mitchell back into Stage 3 restrictions from midnight tomorrow.

Stage 3 restrictions mean only 4 reasons to leave home:

  • Shopping for food and supplies
  • Care and caregiving
  • Exercise
  • Study and work – if you can’t do it from home

You can now issue Purchase Orders (POs) and Works Orders (WOs) electronically.

These tools have been built into Hutchies' Appian platform. This cuts down on duplication and helps track purchases better.

POs & WOs kick off our transition to digital contracts and simplified vendor engagement. We'll share more on the other new tools shortly
