Good Tucker All Round

The Good Tucker All Round (GTAR), Fruit and Vegetable Delivery Program delivers boxes of fresh fruit and vegetables to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living on the Dharawal land in the Campbelltown Local Government Area. The program targets people with or at risk of chronic disease.

Program Aims

The GTAR program aims to increase understanding of the importance of eating nutritious food to help prevent chronic disease.

  • Decrease in high fat, high sugar, high salt food consumption
  • Increase fruit and vegetable consumption
  • Increase uptake of health services and health checks
  • Improved management of chronic disease

How does it work and what’s in the box?

A variety of fresh fruits and vegetables are bought from the local market. The produce is brought back to Tharawal, where they are packed into individual boxes by a group of volunteers. The boxes are then loaded onto our refrigerated truck and delivered to clients’ doors.

The type of fresh food in the boxes changes every week, with some regular items and others that are in season. Buying produce in season means they are cheapest and freshest.

As a client in the GTAR program, you will be required to:

  • Complete the registration form upon signing up to the program
  • Have an Aboriginal Health Check annually
  • Be home at the time of delivery or contact us to make suitable arrangements prior, as boxes cannot be left if there is no one home
  • Contact the team should there be any changes to your delivery address or contact details
  • Make suitable payment arrangements

The GTAR program has shown to be a cheaper and easier way to improve daily consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables.

A payment of $20 in advance is required. Payments are to be made by 3:00pm Monday before delivery. You will receive a receipt upon payment.

Payments can be made in the Social and Emotional Wellbeing building, using:

  • Cash
  • Eftpos
  • Direct deposit

Your delivery will not be processed until Tharawal have received your $20 payment.

Program Terms and Conditions

Payments are to be made in ADVANCE ONLY.

If you are unable to get payment to Tharawal by 3:00pm Mondays, you may be eligible to pay on delivery. This is only after the approval from the GTAR Coordinator and is recorded on your file. You will receive a receipt upon payment by the GTAR Driver.
