Free School Lunches: A Step Toward Healthier Kids and Happier Parents

With Queensland Labor’s recent promise to introduce free school lunches for prep to year 6 students if re-elected, it’s clear that parents and carers are in need of convenient, affordable, and healthy lunch options for their children. At Lilly’s Little Lunchbox, this has been our mission from the start - to provide convenient, nutritious meals that support children's concentration and performance in the classroom. Instilling healthy eating habits for their future health.


This new initiative by the Queensland government aims to relieve families of financial pressure, "saving parents up to $1,600 per child annually". At Lilly's Little Lunchbox, we understand that food security and nutrition are essential for a child’s learning and well-being, which is why we’ve always focused on delivering high quality meals that are both affordable and healthy.


We are here to support any aligned government initiative and are ready to play an active role in the discussion, rollout, and delivery of these programs across our home state of Queensland. Our team is committed to working alongside any government that makes it a priority to ensure that every child has access to healthy meals that can help them succeed in school and life.


While government programs like this are a great initiative, Lilly’s Little Lunchbox offers a unique variety of meals tailored to children’s diverse tastes, keeping lunchtime exciting and fresh. We understand that children need more than just sustenance—they need meals that fuel their concentration and growth. We also have the added benefit of supporting other states across Australia including NSW, ACT & VIC, not just QLD families.


We’re also committed to ensuring affordability. As we work to reduce costs and compete with large supermarket chains, we remain dedicated to maintaining the same (if not higher) level of quality and freshness that parents and kids deserve. Lilly's Little Lunchbox represents the first convenient and fresh ready-made lunchbox service after so long where there just hasn't been a convenient healthy ready-made option available.


All at a time when the larger supermarket chains have been recording record profits while paying producers less and charging consumers more. We believe in a fair system that supports local producers while ensuring families have access to affordable, nutritious meals. Our goal is to make healthy, balanced lunches a regular part of every child’s day, no matter their family's budget.


So whether free lunches are available in your school or not, you can trust that Lilly’s Little Lunchbox is always here to support busy parents and carers in providing wholesome meals that set their children up for success in the classroom and beyond.
