It comes after the woman posted a video to social media last week showing the staff members appearing to hold a viewing party of the designer clothes and handbags in her Melbourne apartment.

When asked about the party last week, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said that behaviour was "not on".
“No one should be going into any homes regardless of how well-heeled the client may be or how luxury the goods may be, no matter what you’re selling or what price you’re paying,” he said.
Today's new case figure is the lowest since July 13, when the state recorded 177 new infections.
