McDonald’s Australia announces one year price freeze for value meal deals

The McSmart Meal will remain under $7.

Joe Chiczewski, CEO of McDonald’s Australia, announced that it will retain the prices of the McSmart Meal and the Loose Change menu for one whole year.

Chiczewski said this is a direct response to Australia’s ongoing cost-of-living challenges.

“My commitment to Australian customers is clear, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, you can count on us for great value at Macca’s. Which is why we’re kicking off a year of value with a 12-month price promise on our McSmart Meal and Loose Change Menu,” Chiczewski said.

The McSmart Meal is a value bundle available across all McDonald’s locations in Australia, offering a combination of two burgers, fries, and a drink for under $7. Customers can also swap one burger for nuggets or a sundae.

The Loose Change Menu features a selection of lower-priced items starting from $1, such as the 50-cent soft serve cone, $2 hamburger, and $4 sausage McMuffin. It's been part of the Australian menu for over a decade.

More McDonald’s restaurants

Chiczewski also revealed plans to open 30 to 50 new restaurants across Australia over the next 12 months.

According to a report by news.com.au, the expansion will be a key priority of its growth strategy in the next few years.

Chiczewski is set to speak at the upcoming QSR Media Conference & Awards 2025, powered by Red Bull.
