FROM OUR DP
Dear Team,
To wrap up the first quarter of the year, I’d like to take a moment to thank our entire team for your continued hard work and commitment. It’s been a fun-filled and rewarding start to 2026, celebrating key moments like Lunar New Year and International Women's Day, while continuing to deliver for our customers every day.
We were also proud to celebrate our achievements at the Southern Region Dealer of the Year Awards recognition that reflects the dedication and teamwork across the entire dealership.
We’ve also taken the opportunity to lean into our departments and teams following the engagement survey, with a clear focus on the actions we can take to improve our dealership—both now and into the future.
Thank you for everything you do. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together so far and look forward to what’s ahead.

SOUTHERN REGION TOYOTA DEALER OF THE YEAR AWARDS
International Women's Day is a time to recognise the achievements, resilience and contributions of women across all industries—and the automotive world is no exception. At Chadstone Toyota, we were proud to celebrate the talented women across our team who help shape the future of our business, from sales to the service and behind the scenes. As the industry continues to evolve, the growing presence of women in automotive brings fresh perspectives, innovation and leadership, strengthening both our workplace and the experience we deliver to our guests.

OakleighCricketClub seasonwrap
An outstanding season for the Oakleigh Cricket Club juniors has come to a close, and Chadstone Toyota was proud to be part of it.
We were delighted to see the season finish on a high at the club’s Junior Presentation Night, where the U11 Boys and U12 Girls received their Chadstone Toyota participation medals. A highlight of the evening was also donating a Toyota bZ4X for a weekend as part of the raffle. We look forward to building on this strong foundation and continuing our support into the 2026/27 season
OakleighChargers seasonkicksoff
Chadstone Toyota is proud to partner with the Oakleigh Chargers, supporting a club known for developing talent, teamwork and leadership within our local community. As part of this partnership, we were pleased to present the club with fresh training footies for the season ahead We look forward to supporting the Chargers throughout the season and continuing to build a strong connection with the players, families and wider community.
At Chadstone Toyota, we’re incredibly proud to continue supporting the Very Special Kids Ride and the meaningful impact it has on families in our community. As the vehicle sponsor, and with our own Team Chadstone Toyota taking part in the ride, we witnessed firsthand just how inspiring this event truly is. Thanks to the generosity of our customers and wider community, Chadstone Toyota were able to raise an incredible $21,189 to support children with life-limiting illnesses and their families. Collectively, VSK raised an incredible $252,898 and we’re already looking forward to surpassing that milestone next year!

We often see each other at work, but what about beyond the dealership? Maria our Marketing Coordinator’s Prado has certainly lived a life since delivery day—from Chaps laps to learner driver duties—but for the real enthusiasts, it’s been put to the ultimate test… and yes, a full-size souvla fits in with no sweat at all!!
Around the Grounds
There’s been a few new faces around the grounds, along with some familiar ones stepping into new roles, so we thought it was the perfect time to extend a warm welcome and congratulations!
