Our Industry Stats

Despite floods, bushfires, storms, a pandemic and an occasional supplier going bust, we’ve never failed to serve a meal.

Our customer satisfaction rate is industry-leading. We have achieved this by truly listening and actively taking on client feedback.

How We Work

Fresh In Every Sense

Fresh food is central to everything we do, that’s why our food is prepared fresh on-site every day by our qualified Chefs. 

Our menus are constantly evolving, with our culinary team and dietary experts meticulously designing seasonal menus, optimised for nutrient content. 

We understand that it is never one size fits all, so our real difference is that every contract is individually tailored based on specific requirements, dietary needs, allergens, and cultural differences.

With over 1000 recipes in our database and custom software that manages personal preferences and clinical needs, there will always be something for everyone.

All Inclusive

It would be nice to think you can plan everything a year in advance - and while it may be possible for birthdays, some occasions just call for something special, something a little different. 

While other caterers will stack on purchasing, admin and variation fees to make this happen, we offer a ‘Never Marked Up’ promise on special catering requests like alcohol and birthday functions. 

In fact, we have the most inclusions in our per person per day rate of any caterer in the industry, meaning you won’t be forking out every time there’s an excuse for a barbecue.

Serious About Service

At Contemporary Catering we are ahead of the industry in customer satisfaction. Particularly in the aged care sector, we have been piloting change in the resident dining room experience, remaining ahead of the Aged Care Standards.

It’s all about the attention to detail, and that’s led by our management teams. With dedicated Training, Culinary and Operations Managers, our on-site staff have consistent support to provide the best catering services to our customers.

Our main focus is our residents and our clients, and with our strong focus on continuous improvement, we are always looking for ways to elevate our service.

Aged Care Specialists

We know how challenging managing a quality aged care facility can be. With a heavy compliance burden, increasing competition and changing aged care standards, there’s little room for error. 

Our experience in aged care spans over more than 30 years, making Contemporary Catering the obvious choice for peace of mind at your facility.

With dedicated Internal Auditors, Third Party Auditors and Quality Managers, our team are across aged care compliance.

With a large part of our training structure focused on texture modified meals and following the IDDSI framework, we are the obvious choice to comply with your residents’ dietary needs and ever changing standards.
