  • Australian Eggs is donating 31,200 eggs to social enterprise Two Good Co to help nourish women in crisis
  • TV personalities Khanh Ong and Alice Zaslavsky will lead a cook-up alongside the Two Good team
  • Donation will contribute to Two Good Co's yearly delivery of 30,000 nutritious meals for vulnerable women
  • SYDNEY, Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Australian Eggs are marking World Egg Day by donating a year's worth of eggs (31,200) to social enterprise Two Good Co, helping deliver 30,000 nutritious meals to women in crisis. With eggs back in strong supply, the initiative ensures this everyday staple is reaching those who need it most.

    To mark the day, TV personalities Khanh Ong and Alice Zaslavsky will roll up their sleeves in the Two Good kitchen for a cook-up, preparing two delicious dishes – an Asian-Inspired Smoked Salmon Frittata and a Melt & Mix Chocolate Slab Cake – and packaging these meals to be distributed to women with lived experience of homelessness and domestic violence.

    The partnership comes at a time when food insecurity is a pressing issue across Australia. At the same time, egg supply is strong and growing, with a record 7 billion eggs consumed nationwide in 2025, as of September and egg consumption growing to a new high of 267 eggs per year for each Australian.

    This growth comes on the back of new community research from Australian Eggs that shows 89% of Australians agree eggs provide important nutrition, 86% see them as a vital staple food, and 68% now view them as a better source of nutrition than they did in the past.

    Rowan McMonnies, Managing Director at Australian Eggs, commented: "Egg consumption is growing and World Egg Day is all about celebrating the positive impact eggs have in our lives – from their role as a nutrient-rich staple, to the way they can bring people together over a meal. This partnership with Two Good reflects that spirit, showing that something as simple as an egg can create real community impact."

    Rob Caslick, Founder of Two Good, added: "We are so grateful to Australian Eggs for this donation, which will allow us to create thousands of meals for women living in crisis. Cooking with purpose is at the heart of what we do and partnerships like this make a huge difference, helping us not only to provide nutritious meals but also to create moments of comfort and connection."

    Celebrity chef and TV personality Khanh Ong said: "Sharing food is such a simple but powerful way to show care. It's been great to be a part of it!"

    Cook, author and TV presenter Alice Zaslavsky added: "Cooking together creates connection, and it's a privilege to be involved in a meaningful initiative like this."

    Australians can get involved and give back this World Egg Day with Two Good's Gifts for Good, including their new cookbook collection 'Sweet Memories', a journey through a different sort of nourishment (the kind that nourishes the spirit). Proceeds directly support meals for women living in crisis, making it easier than ever for the public to play their part.

Over 30,000 Eggs Donated to Help Women in Crisis This World Egg Day

Over 30,000 Eggs Donated to Help Women in Crisis This World Egg Day

HONG KONG, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As we move into 2026, Metis Global (Cook Islands) Limited ("Metis CI"), a subsidiary of Metis Global Group, has officially launched its brand-new regular savings trust plan, the "Starry Pro Plan." The plan integrates regular contributions, international trust protection, and diversified asset allocation arrangements to deliver an integrated solution for clients with medium- to long-term financial planning needs, balancing asset accumulation, structural stability, and legacy planning.

Amid rising market volatility and the increasing prevalence of cross-border allocation, clients are placing greater emphasis on the robustness of legal arrangements when planning for savings, education, or retirement objectives. Metis CI notes that the Starry Pro Plan is designed to help clients establish a forward-looking and disciplined financial structure with an accessible entry threshold.

20-Year Regular Contribution Design to Establish a Stable Financial Rhythm

The Starry Pro Plan adopts a 20-year regular savings trust structure with a standard Contribution Payment Term ("CPT"). Through consistent contributions, clients can gradually accumulate assets and establish a stable rhythm for financial planning under various market conditions. The plan is available for individual or joint applications of up to two persons and primarily targeting medium- to long-term financial goals.

Diverse Underlying Asset Design Supporting Different Financial Orientations

With respect to portfolio selection, the Starry Pro Plan provides two underlying asset options, allowing clients to make choices based on their personal circumstances and overall planning considerations at the point of application.

One option tracks the performance of the S&P 500 Index, representing a widely recognised benchmark of the U.S. equity market across multiple sectors and reflecting the long-term development of mature capital markets. The other is selected by clients from portfolios managed by third-party professional institutions, with allocations and adjustments made according to established investment strategies and market conditions.

Both approaches adopt a regular allocation mechanism to support the gradual accumulation of portfolio value across different market cycles.

International Trust Framework Strengthening Asset Protection and Legacy Arrangements

Metis CI serves as the trustee of the "Starry Pro Plan." Metis CI is a licensed trust company legally registered in the Cook Islands under the Trustee Companies Act 2014 and is regulated by the Cook Islands Financial Supervisory Commission ("FSC"). The Cook Islands is renowned for its mature common law system and the International Trusts Act 1984, and has long been regarded as an international jurisdiction with a robust legal foundation for trusts.

Under the trust structure, clients can appoint beneficiaries through a Letter of Wishes, significantly simplifying the asset transfer process. Assets are held under the independent custody of DBS Bank in Singapore and are fully segregated from the assets of Metis CI, thereby strengthening asset security.

Flexible Mechanisms Designed for Different Life Stages

Recognising that financial circumstances may change during a long-term contribution period, the "Starry Pro Plan" features several flexible options, including a Contribution Holiday, adjustments to contribution amounts, and a partial withdrawal mechanism. Throughout the CPT, clients can utilise up to 24 months of Contribution Holiday in total. Clients may also reduce the regular contribution amount or apply for partial withdrawals after the Initial Contribution Period, ensuring that their planning can adapt flexibly to changing life circumstances.

A Structure-Oriented Financial Tool

Metis CI states that the "Starry Pro Plan" emphasises structural design and medium- to long-term financial thinking. Through a defined contribution framework, a robust trust legal structure, and independent custody arrangements, the plan supports clients in building a more focused and resilient financial blueprint amid ongoing market uncertainty.
