The service is available at over 350 retailers offering up to 8,000 products across a variety of categories from fresh food and quick eats including Harris Farm, Bakers Delight, Haigh’s Chocolates, Starbucks, Betty’s Burgers, Donut King and Boost Juice, to everyday essentials and lifestyle retailers such as Harry Hartog, L’Occitane and Aesop. Additional retailers are joining the platform each day.

Scentre Group director of customer experience, Phil McAveety said, “In these challenging times, we understand more than ever the need to be agile and respond to the fast-changing needs of our customers.

“Westfield Direct is an innovation we have fast tracked to provide customers a safe and easy solution to shop the items they need in on transaction for pick up via one, contactless stop.

“For our retail partners who are still able to trade within government restrictions, Westfield Direct provides a new way for them to reach their customers. We look forward to seeing where the service takes us in the coming months.”
