Government FAQ.
Are you on any government procurement panels?
We're happy to register on your panel where required. Approach varies by department and state — some panels have rolling registration, some require formal tender response. Tell us which panel applies to your purchase and we'll work through registration with you.
Do you accept ABN-on-file and PO terms?
Yes. We invoice against a purchase order, tax invoice issued on dispatch. Net-30 terms standard for departments, councils and agencies. Larger or multi-tranche orders happy to be split-invoiced per delivery milestone.
Can you provide insurance and compliance documentation?
Yes — public liability and product liability insurance certificates, child-safety statement, modern slavery statement, ABN and GST registration all available on request. Send a single email to [email protected] and we'll send the full pack.
Do you supply for NDIS programmes?
Yes. Wristbands for NDIS-participant identification, day-programme identification, allergy-alert IDs and wandering-prevention bands at aged-care facilities are a regular order pattern for us. Talk to us about specific use cases — we can recommend material and durability based on wear time.
What's the lead time for government orders?
10–14 business days from artwork sign-off for silicone and Tyvek. 14–21 days for woven fabric. LumoSynch LED stadium-scale runs need 12+ weeks for sequence design and venue testing. Quicker on application if artwork is clean and the event date is fixed.
