Online food delivery service Deliveroo has “immediately” ceased operations in Australia, leaving over 15,000 workers in limbo.
The company went into voluntary administration after its UK parent company, Deliveroo PLC, decided to cease funding and exit the Australian market.
“It is with deep regret that Deliveroo is taking the difficult decision to end our operations in Australia,” Deliveroo Australia General Manager Ed McManus said in a statement on Wednesday.
“Regrettably, therefore, Deliveroo Australia will not be accepting orders from this point onwards and operations will be ceasing imminently.”
