In any office job I’ve worked, I would have been able to accomplish jack shit for the second half of the day without a break with some food and good coffee.
Also, breaks in which you can do whatever you want are enforced by law around here, and I’d be surprised if it isn’t the same in Australia.
I consider the question of free coffee to be a litmus test for any company. If you’re not offering it, you are unequivocally a loser not worthy of running a company:
It costs next to nothing
Caffeine makes the workers more productive
Your best outcome is workers who drink a healthy amount of coffee every day
The expected return of offering free unlimited coffee for any work place is positive - and the inverse of not offering free coffee is hence negative.

That man is both a dick, and a fool.
It is. I think fair work should have a word with old mate.
Where I live, they can only enforce that you stay on site during breaks if they pay you for your breaks, and lord knows they don’t want to do that

Pretty much any office I’ve been in had free coffee. Good free coffee, now that’s few and far between.
