Roland DG Company Update – Tuesday, 29th June
Roland DG Australia would like to thank you for your continued support as we navigate further uncertainty around the country.
As at Tuesday, 29th June, Australia's growing Covid-19 crisis has plunged four capital cities into lockdown. NSW’s Greater Sydney area (including the Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour), Northern Territory’s Greater Darwin region and Western Australia’s Perth and Peel regions are now all in lockdown due to Covid-19 outbreaks, with southeast Queensland, Townsville, Palm Island and Magnetic Island joining from 6pm tonight. A raft of restrictions is also in place across South Australia.
Staff Working Remotely
With the current lockdown in across Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains, Central Coast, Wollongong and Shellharbour and restrictions introduced in regional NSW, the Roland DG office in Frenchs Forest is now closed. Staff are working remotely up until midnight on Friday, 9th July, pending Government orders.
Service and Support
During the lockdown period, non-essential travel will not be undertaken in the areas under lockdown orders. Service runs are limited to break fixes only, and all customers and service staff must practice social distancing, wear masks, and regularly use hand sanitiser.
For our customers who have had to close their business due to the current restrictions, we are here to support you when you’re up and running again. For our customers providing work for “essential services,” and who are still operating, we ask that you provide us with your COVID-safe plans when you book a repair visit, in line with the current rules and regulations from the Government in each state.
To request a service, please contact our support team or fill in a support form.

Roland DG Australia – Service and Support Update
Restrictions Around Australia: QLD, NSW and VIC Border Closures
Roland DG Australia continues to support our customers across Australia. However, the current Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria border closures make it difficult for us to carry out cross border scheduled services in these states. Where possible, we are working with our authorised local service network to carry out service runs for our customers located in towns close to these borders.
Service and Support for Our VIC Customers
Currently, due to local restrictions, Roland DG are prioritising break fixes and postponing country runs and services for all customers across Victoria.
For our customers who have had to close their business due to the current restrictions, we are here to support you when you’re up and running again. For our customers providing work for “essential services,” and who are still operating, we ask that you provide us with your COVID-safe plans when you book a repair visit, in line with the current rules and regulations from the Victorian Government. This is to ensure the necessary precautions are in place in order to maintain the safety of your staff and our technicians attending site. We understand you may have similar plans in place to limit interactions with customers and suppliers, and our team may ask for an update on these prior to visiting, should a break fix be required.
We’re Here to Support You Remotely

Extending the warranty on eligible devices is just one way we hope we can help you, our customers, during these difficult times.”
