Private Chef for Fortnightly Meal Prep

$300

Melbourne, VIC

29th Jul 2026

I'm looking for a chef to prepare, cook, freeze and deliver meals on a fortnightly basis to either Moorabbin or Blairgowrie. It would be 4 recipes per fortnight, with 6 serves per recipe. We have specific dietary requirements (mainly organic, gluten free, dairy free, low histamine), so you'd be working off our recipes only to begin with. They are fairly basic recipes, but we want someone with good attention to detail. After some time, we'd be happy to consider alterations or suggested meals that fit within our dietary constraints. We would also supply containers for the prepared food. Happy to discuss pricing based once you've reviewed the recipes and ingredients.

Family assistant cleaner and meal prep

$30

Elsternwick VIC 3185, Australia

22nd Jul 2026

We are a busy family living in a 3-bedroom home with 2 young children, looking for a reliable, efficient, and proactive helper on an ongoing fortnightly basis We are seeking someone with great attention to detail who takes initiative around the house—someone who notices what needs doing (like stray toys, dry laundry, or cluttered counters) and handles it without needing step-by-step direction. 1. Meal Prep (5 Family Meals)** Prepare a batch of 4- 5 family-friendly meals per visit to carry us through the fortnight ahead. We need dishes that freeze well and can be pulled out easily during busy weeknights to pop straight into the oven. Don't mind if you do this in our house or in your own kitchen and bring here. Need to let us know in advance what we need to buy or give receipt of ingredients for reimbursement. 2. House Cleaning *Clean the main bathroom. * clean the kitchen area (stovetop, counters, sink, wiping down appliance exteriors). * Vacuum and mop floors ( living areas, bathroom, bedrooms). 3. Family & Household Support (Taking Initiative) * Tidy up toys, kid mess, and general clutter around the living areas. * Fold dry laundry from the line/airer, put away clothes, or pop on a load of washing. * General tidying and organising to help keep our household running smoothly. **Bonus / Casual Extra Hours (Optional)** Big plus if you have a current Working With Children Check (WWCC) and babysitting experience! We would love to find someone who could also offer ad-hoc/casual help, such as: * Occasional evening or weekend babysitting. * Collecting our son from kindergarten on the odd day Ideal Candidate: *Proactive & Independent:Sees what needs doing (e.g., dry laundry, toy clutter) and takes the initiative to get it done. Great Cook: Comfortable preparing wholesome, family-friendly meals designed to freeze and reheat well. $30 per hour (assuming 5 hours per fortnight?) Looking forward to finding a great ongoing fit for our family!

$120

Brighton VIC 3186, Australia

14th Jun 2026

Looking for someone to assist with preparing cooked meals for my dog. My vet has provided a meal plan with specific ingredients and food groups. I will provide the recipes, portion guidelines and instructions. I'm very flexible and easygoing about exact measurements - I just need someone who can follow the recipe and prepare healthy meals containing the required ingredients. The task would involve: • Cooking meals in batches • Portioning into individual containers • Storing appropriately for fridge/freezer I can either: • Arrange groceries to be delivered directly to you via Coles/Woolworths • Reimburse grocery costs • Work out another arrangement that suits I'm based in Brighton (3186). Ideally meals would be prepared in your own kitchen. I can collect if you're within approximately 20km of Brighton, arrange an Uber Parcel pickup, or delivery would be amazing if possible. This may become an ongoing arrangement for the right person. Please let me know your location, availability, preferences around grocery options etc & delivery, pick up etc and any other relevant information. Please ensure your offer includes all costs & the day/ date you are available. Note: grocery cost separate as outlined above. Thank you!

No beef or pork please. 💰 BUDGET Please quote your hourly or per-session rate (groceries on top). 📅 TIMING Weekday preferred, flexible on the day.

Weekly Meal Prep Cook Needed — 10–15 Large Meals Delivered

$250

Greensborough VIC 3088, Australia

30th May 2026

Looking for someone in Melbourne/Victoria to cook and deliver weekly bulk meals on Saturday or Sunday. I work long construction hours and need proper filling meals, not small diet meals or packaged gym-style meals. Looking for 10–15 large serves per week. High protein, decent carbs, vegetables, moderate salt. Meals like chicken and rice, beef and potatoes, pasta bakes, curries, chilli con carne, burrito bowls, stir-fries, slow-cooked beef, lamb, etc. Ideally meals would be around 700–900 calories each with 40g+ protein, but I don’t need perfect macro tracking. I mainly need big, fresh, healthy meals that are already put together and ready to reheat. Ongoing weekly work if the food is good. Please include examples/photos of meals you’ve cooked and your weekly price for 10–15 meals delivered.

Awesome service, beautiful fresh meals delivered, way better than going to other pre-packaged food companies and healthier!
