Spindler Street Packaging Service

Employees : Where We Are : Customer Feedback

Tulgeen Disability Services’ most recent Australian Disability Enterprise – Spindler Street Packaging Service (SSPS) was established in partnership with Bega Cheese, a national and internationally renowned cheese manufacture.

This partnership was developed around the introduction of a ‘new product’ by Bega Cheese. This required the packaging of small portions of cheese product into a larger bag. The new product – Shapers, are still found on supermarket shelves.

The new partnership grew and with considerable financial assistance from Bega Cheese and funding through the Federal Government’s Regional Partnership Program, a purpose built facility was constructed to house future operations. This facility is licensed by the NSW Food Authority as a dairy factory and is accredited by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) to handle export quality product.

SSPS now employs a full time Coordinator, a full time support worker; and up to eight employees a day. Whilst it has its regular employees who are part of this ADE, SSPS also employs up to 13 employees from Tulgeen’s other ADE’s; as well as two volunteer placement students with disability from local high schools.

SSPS also operates its own truck undertaking all transport between Bega Cheese and the facility. As a dairy factory, SSPS is not licensed to undertake any other food processing.
