Healthy vending
Healthy Vending Machines for Victorian Workplaces
You set the standard, we stock to it — protein, low-sugar, high-fibre and fresh, with no cost to your business.
The short answer
Free vending machine placement means Free Vending Machines Melbourne matches your site with a local vending machine owner-operator who supplies, installs, stocks and services the machine at no cost to your business. You provide roughly one square metre of floor space and a 240V power outlet. Melbourne workplaces with about 30+ staff on site or 50+ daily visitors typically qualify, and the machine is removed free of charge if the site doesn't suit either party — a placed machine does need to make sales to stay.
How the healthy range works
- You choose the standard: healthy-only, 70/30 mix, or traffic-light green
- We build a planogram and send it to you for approval before install
- Sales data is reviewed after the first cycles and slow lines are swapped
- Allergy-aware, halal, vegan and gluten-free options available
- Nutrition panels visible on shelf so staff can compare before buying
- Range reviews any time at no charge
Best fit by site
- Corporate offices running a workplace wellness program
- Hospitals and health services with nutrition policies
- Schools, TAFEs and universities with canteen guidelines
- Gyms, sports clubs and recreation centres
- 24/7 sites where night staff need real food, not just confectionery
100% cashless — tap card, Apple Pay & Google Pay ready

Healthy vending questions
What counts as a healthy vending machine?
A healthy vending machine is one whose planogram is weighted to better-for-you lines: water and low-sugar drinks, nuts and seeds, protein bars, high-fibre muesli bars, baked snacks, yoghurt and fresh options. Free Vending Machines Melbourne can run a 100% healthy range or a mixed range with an agreed healthy percentage.
Can we set a healthy-only policy?
Yes. You approve the planogram before install and can lock the machine to healthy-only products. Many government, healthcare and education sites use a traffic-light standard with a minimum share of green-rated items.
Do healthy products sell as well?
In staffed workplaces, healthy ranges perform strongly when they are priced comparably and merchandised at eye level. We review real sales data after the first few service cycles and adjust lines that do not move.
Can you cater for allergies, halal or vegan requirements?
Yes. Ranges can exclude nuts, include halal-certified lines, and carry vegan and gluten-free options. Ingredient and allergen information is on the pack, and the planogram is documented for your WHS records.
Is a healthy vending machine more expensive for our business?
No. Placement, stocking and servicing are free for qualifying sites regardless of the range you choose. Staff pay per item at the point of purchase.
