COVID-19 Response

AVID Property Group has recognised that the COVID-19 pandemic is a public health emergency, that all actions in respect of COVID-19 should be founded in expert health advice. For this reason the AVID WHSE Procedure to manage COVID-19 operates under principles agreed to and implemented by both Federal and State Governments.

Our COVID-19 procedure is designed to ensure AVID:

Has a plan in place to respond to the issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic;
Reviews our exposure and infection control policies and procedures, actively promote social distancing, good hand and respiratory hygiene and increase cleaning of common areas within the work environment;
Develops and implements safe systems of work that take into account directions and advice provided by health authorities; and
Keeps monitoring the COVID-19 situation as it develops, relying on information from authoritative sources such as public health authorities.

AVID Property Group uses a systematic approach to the management of major incidents, emergencies and crises that seriously affect or have the potential to affect the group’s people (including shareholders, employees, contractors, consultants, partners and customers), business operations, assets and/or reputation. Protocols outlined in our COVID-19 WHSE Procedure describe AVID’s response to an extraordinary occurrence, namely the outbreak of COVID-19 virus.

“All AVID staff have reacted positively to the changes required of the business to minimize a potential outbreak of COVID-19 in the workplace. Our stakeholders have also managed to pivot their business’ rapidly to ensure we are all working together to comply with both state and federal legislative requirements to minimize infection rates in the country”. – Duncan Corness, National WHSE Manager

Work Health and Safety at AVID

At AVID We Bring People Together - Safely

The health and safety of our team and contractors is fundamental to everything we do at AVID, and we pride ourselves on our Workplace Health, Safety and Environment (WHSE) practices across all of our projects, communities and offices.

“Safety is fundamental to everything we do at AVID and it has always been instrumental in our success. We arm our team with the best WHSE practices to ensure that they are able to work safely whether they are onsite, in the office or working remotely,” – Cameron Holt, AVID CEO

Our Approach to Safety

At AVID, we have a well-established WHSE Strategy in place across the entire AVID business and these practice pillars are embedded in the way we work each and every day.

Training

We ensure all staff, contractors and consultants are aware of their WHSE obligations and train everyone in the best practice for their worksite – be that a construction site, the office or even while working from home.

Safety in Design

We work with specialised teams to design out and mitigate all risks as far as reasonably practicable before construction begins.

Leadership and Culture

Building on a culture where everyone is encouraged to speak up on safety matters – making safety everyone’s priority.

Regulators/Compliance

AVID regularly reviews and measures a series of WHSE Key Performance Indicators – ensuring that all areas of the business are aware of their WHSE responsibilities.

“AVID’s approach to safety is one where we are committed to creating a proactive safety culture. A culture where people are empowered to speak up about safety matters.” – Duncan Corness, National WHSE Manager

Our Governance

AVID has developed and implemented a WHSE Management System (WHSEMS) to support and promote good health, safety, wellbeing and environmental practices throughout the business at all levels. As acknowledgement of AVID’s effective implementation of the WHSEMS, AVID has been certified to the Australian Standard for:

Australian Standard for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (AS4801)
International Standard for Environmental Management Systems (ISO14001)

The entire AVID team has worked hard to achieve these certifications and are proud of the culture of safety these promote onsite and in the office.

“We want safety to be part of our DNA, because as we know, the most important reason to work safely isn’t at work at all.” – Duncan Corness, National WHSE Manager

Our Stakeholders

AVID’s approach to WHSE extends beyond its staff to all members of our communities, we pride ourselves on creating safe communities for people to live, work and play safely.

Start new, upgrade now

You get to decide how your home functions

Buying your new home is a new beginning, it is the foundation to your future and a chance to design your living environment the way you want

New homes are more energy efficient

Overall new homes are much more energy efficient that older homes, thanks to better designs, improved insulation, tighter building regulations and a greater commitment to environmentally sustainable living. As well as being better for the planet, lower utility bills are better for your hip pocket.

It’s your dream home not someone else’s

Building new gives you the chance to do what YOU want, from floorplans and fittings, to paint, tiles and flooring – all how you dreamt it should be.

Avoid renovation expenses

Everything built into a new home is brand new, so you don’t have to worry about hidden plumbing problems or outdated wiring – and it is a lot more convenient and usually a lot less stressful than renovating an existing building

Home
Warranty

Your new home is covered by a host of warranties – from the included appliances and fittings to the construction itself, check with your selected builder for full details.

With you all the way home

Building your first home is exciting. AvidConnect help take the worry out of this exciting move. Our two-way communication platform can help you with choosing the right block through to contracts, settlement, building and even moving in and meeting your neighbours.

All-time low interest rates

Bank interest rates are at record lows, which is great news for homebuyers. In fact, for many people, monthly mortgage payments may even cheaper than rent.

Better lending
criteria

Financial regulators have made it easier for banks to lend money – scrapping the old criteria requiring proof that you could afford a 7% loan and replacing it with a requirement to simply show you can afford a 2.5% rise in your current agreed interest rate.

Stamp Duty
on land only

Unlike buying an established home – where the value of the home and land are factored in – the stamp duty you pay when buying new is applied only to the land, as there is no house yet, and this can potentially save you thousands of dollars.

Take 3 with AVID Partnership Report

Take 3 with AVID: a year in review

AVID’s partnership with Take 3 in 2018/2019 highlighted the much broader environmental problem we all face as a global society and has enabled the company – including its stakeholders and residents – to be more educated on how to make simple changes each day to make a difference.

Held in and around AVID’s residential communities, from the Sunshine Coast through to regional Victoria, the Take 3…with AVID series of events helped to reach and inspire more than two million Australians.

The series of events included a local school engagement project, an exclusive private film screening at a local cinema and a community clean-up day, which saw more than 350kg of waste cleared in just 12 months.

“The entire Take 3 team and I are thrilled to be partnered with a company that is committed to sustainability and spreading the message of reducing plastic pollution in our communities.”

Tim Silverwood, Take 3 CEO and Co-founder
