If you work from home in Darwin, you’ve probably built your workspace one piece at a time. A keyboard from the old office. A charger your partner no longer uses. A monitor that works well enough, most days. The setup does the job, but none of it was chosen deliberately.

End of financial year changes the equation. Home office equipment purchased before June 30 may be tax-deductible, depending on your work situation. Many remote employees and sole traders claim home office expenses each year. That means the upgrades you’ve been putting off could come with a financial incentive to act now rather than later. (Check with your accountant or the ATO website for what applies to you.)

The challenge for home office workers in the Northern Territory has always been access. Ordering from interstate suppliers means waiting weeks for delivery, paying inflated freight costs, and gambling on whether the product will survive Darwin’s humidity. Returning something that doesn’t work means shipping it back at your own expense, with more downtime while you wait for a replacement.

Fetch Office Choice solves that problem. Most people know Fetch for postal services and gifts, but as an Office Choice member, the store at 3/655 Stuart Highway in Berrimah carries a catalogue of thousands of products across technology, power accessories, creative tools, and business hardware. And if you haven’t browsed the website before, you can order online at fetch.officechoice.com.au and collect in-store the next time you’re in for your mail or parcels.

Here are four brands worth exploring before the financial year ends.

Logitech: Keyboards, Mice, and Peripherals That Last

A good keyboard and mouse are the foundation of any productive workspace. If yours drops its Bluetooth connection, has sticky keys, or forces your wrist into an awkward angle for hours, it’s costing you time every day.

Logitech builds wireless keyboards, ergonomic mice, headsets, and webcams designed for modern work environments. Their range suits everything from basic daily use to intensive video conferencing setups. The difference between a generic keyboard and a well-designed one shows up in the small things: consistent key travel, reliable wireless connectivity, and a layout that doesn’t fight your hands.

Fetch Office Choice carries the full Logitech range. You can browse the selection online at fetch.officechoice.com.au/logitech and either order for in-store collection or pick one up next time you’re visiting.

Cygnett: Chargers, Power Banks, and Power Solutions

Cygnett is an Australian-designed brand specialising in power and charging accessories. Their range includes USB-C chargers, portable power banks, laptop accessories, and portable power stations.

For home office workers, Cygnett solves the everyday frustration of underpowered, unreliable charging. A proper USB-C charger with enough wattage for your laptop eliminates the daisy chain of adapters and extension cords. A power bank means your phone stays charged during back-to-back video calls without tethering it to the wall. And for anyone working from a shed, granny flat, or converted garage in Darwin’s suburbs, a portable power station provides backup power when the grid drops during storm season.

Being Australian-designed, Cygnett products are built with local conditions in mind. Browse the range at fetch.officechoice.com.au/cygnett

POSCA: Paint Markers for Creatives and Market Traders

POSCA markers aren’t traditional office supplies, and that’s the point. They use quick-drying, water-based pigment ink that writes on glass, timber, metal, fabric, plastic, and more. The ink is permanent on porous surfaces and removable from glass, making them versatile for both permanent and temporary applications.

If you run a market stall, a home-based food business, or a creative practice from your workspace, POSCA markers replace the need for a label printer or professional signage. Write your menu on a chalkboard, price tags on timber displays, or branding on packaging. They’re available in tip sizes from fine (1.3mm) for detailed work up to extra broad (15mm) for filling large areas.

Individual markers and variety packs are available at fetch.officechoice.com.au/posca

Square: Payment Hardware for Sole Traders

If your side business or sole trader operation still handles payments through bank transfers and cash, Square offers a cleaner alternative. Their card readers, terminals, and full POS registers let you accept tap-and-go payments at markets, pop-ups, client sites, or your front door.

The Square Reader is wireless and portable. The Square Terminal adds a screen for receipts and transaction management. The Square Register is a complete point-of-sale system with dual displays. All three connect to Square’s software platform, which tracks sales, generates reports, and manages inventory without a separate accounting setup.

There are no monthly fees on the hardware itself. You pay per transaction when accepting payments. Browse the range at fetch.officechoice.com.au/square

Browse the Full EOFY Range

Beyond these four brands, Office Choice has pulled together end-of-financial-year specials across furniture, technology, stationery, and kitchen essentials. If your home office needs something not covered above, the full catalogue is a good place to start. Browse the EOFY catalogue at fetchnt.com.au/eofy

Order Online, Collect In-Store

Every product mentioned in this article is available through the Office Choice website. Browse from home, place your order, and collect it at Fetch the next time you’re in for your mail, parcels, or a gift.

The convenience matters most at EOFY. If you’re planning to claim home office expenses, purchases need to fall within this financial year. Ordering from an interstate supplier in late June risks the delivery landing after the deadline. Ordering through Fetch Office Choice means you can browse tonight, order tomorrow, and collect the day after. Your purchase date is locked in and you didn’t need to make a special trip.

Fetch is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, at 3/655 Stuart Highway, Berrimah. Call 08 8947 3877 or visit fetchnt.com.au.
