The Healthlink Crew

The Healthlink Crew began in 2005 with a first café and has developed an operation connecting cafés, catering, and prepared meals in Melbourne. Its cafés are located within aquatic and recreation centers, while the Burwood commercial kitchen supplies fresh-cut and bakery products for its outlets, trade orders, and events. That relationship between a central kitchen and service locations explains the range of its activities.

The cafés accompany life at the sports centers. The beverage selection includes Melba Organic coffee and tea, juices, milk, water, and kombucha. The locations do not all share the same hours: some serve customers for much of the day, while others concentrate service on certain days. The network covers different parts of Melbourne, making it useful to distinguish the office from cafés open to customers.

In the Monash area, the listed locations are Monash Aquatic & Recreation Centre at 626 Waverley Road, Glen Waverley VIC 3150; Oakleigh Recreation Centre at 2A Park Road, Oakleigh VIC 3166; and Clayton Aquatics & Health Club at 9/15 Cooke Street, Clayton VIC 3168. Each belongs to a specific recreation center rather than being a different entrance to one restaurant.

The network continues at Eltham Leisure Centre, 40 Brougham Street, Eltham VIC 3095; WaterMarc Leisure Centre, 1 Flintoff Street, Greensborough VIC 3088; and Brimbank Aquatic & Wellness Centre, 90 Taylors Road, Keilor Downs VIC 3038. Other locations are Sportlink on Hanover Road, Vermont South VIC 3133; Aqualink Box Hill at 31 Surrey Drive, Box Hill VIC 3128; and Aqualink Nunawading on Fraser Place, Forest Hill VIC 3131.

Catering covers everything from small morning teas to corporate lunches, openings, seated banquets, and cocktail events. Preparation includes food tables and presentations adapted to the occasion. Orders can be organized from catalog selections or through an inquiry for customized menus and specific dietary needs.

Children’s pool parties have a specific process. The activity is first booked with the center, followed by choosing children’s packs or catering platters available at that location. The order records the child’s name, time, and party location. The information therefore separates the aquatic booking from food provision, two services with different roles.

Portions Lifestyle Cuisine is the prepared-meal line developed from the needs of café customers. The company also offers wholesale fresh-cut and bakery products. Through these lines, The Healthlink Crew extends its kitchen beyond a poolside break: it also serves working lunches, family gatherings, and orders prepared for other outlets.
