Build Your Family's Weekly Lunch Roster

Aussie Lunchbox is a free tool that builds a Monday-to-Friday school lunch plan for Australian families. Set your allergy filters, hit Generate, and within seconds you'll have five days of balanced meals β€” complete with recipes, nutritional estimates aligned to NHMRC guidelines, and a shopping list priced against current Woolworths prices. No sign-up required, no hidden fees. Just open the planner and get sorted.

1️⃣

Tell Us About Your Family

Toggle allergy filters (nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, egg-free) or dietary modes (vegetarian, vegan). Exclude any ingredients your child refuses and add leftovers from the fridge you'd like to use up first.

2️⃣

Let the Planner Do the Work

Press 'Generate Plan' and within five seconds you'll see a balanced 5-day menu. Every day features a main lunch, a snack idea, a full ingredient list with quantities, step-by-step cooking instructions, and estimated calories.

3️⃣

Grab the List and Go

Export the whole plan as a PDF, fire it to your inbox, or share it over WhatsApp or Facebook. The shopping list is pre-sorted by supermarket aisle and shows Woolworths prices β€” ready to take straight to the checkout.

Designed Around Your Family's Allergies

Our library of 63 recipes carries detailed allergen tags verified against real product labels. When you activate a filter, only recipes that are genuinely free of that allergen appear in your plan. Whether you're managing peanut anaphylaxis, dairy intolerance, or coeliac-safe gluten-free requirements, the planner puts your child's safety front and centre.

Woolworths Prices on Every Ingredient

Every ingredient in your shopping list displays a Woolworths price, refreshed once a week. We show per-portion costs, not just packet prices, giving you a realistic view of what the week will actually cost. Across our menu set the median lunchbox comes to about $3.40 a day.
