Virtue Plus is supporting Royal Flying Doctor Service Tasmania and you can to!

Simply purchase a Purell pack online and a portion from each pod will go directly to helping the Tasmanian community.

From February 1st, Virtue Plus will be donating 25¢ from each refill pod sold, directly to Royal Flying Doctor Service Tasmania. To help transform the lives of those who are disadvantaged because they live in rural and remote area and have difficulty accessing or affording health services in the cities. While some of the charity’s operating costs are covered by State and Federal Government funding, it would not be viable without donations from individuals, businesses and community fundraising initiatives plus the support from a dedicated team of volunteers.

Tasmania is such a beautiful place to live, not just because of the beautiful wilderness and welcoming atmosphere. But also, because of the friendly communities that call this island state home. The support Tasmanian communities show to one another is just one of the many inspirations for our team to take part in supporting charities and local events.  

Virtue Plus will be helping with proceeds from Purell TFX Touchfree Dispensers, Purell LTX 7 Touchfree Dispensers and Purell FMX Dispensers. You can take part by purchasing one of these Purell Dispensers and using it within your business. We will provide you with marketing materials to help spread the word about the services being provided by the Royal Flying Doctor Service throughout Tasmania.

About RFDS 

Royal Flying Doctor Service Tasmania provides a wide variety of free health services throughout Tasmania, with the emphasis on assisting those who live in rural and remote areas. 

Established in 1960, it has grown to include a dedicated team of close to 40 rural, physical and mental health workers who work in partnership with general practitioners, allied health professionals and local service providers to fight chronic disease and break down the barriers that people face with distance, time and cost.

Recently RFDS has expanded its mental health services to support youth aged between 8 and 16 years living on the east and west coast of Tasmania and it’s provided mobile health buses and support staff to assist the State Government with Covid-19 vaccinations in rural areas. 

There is also a mobile dental program, utilising fixed clinics and a dental truck, to reach small towns, aged care facilities and schools to address the growing problems with oral health care and the effect on overall physical and mental health. Since the mobile dental care program began on May 1, 2017, it has seen more than 5000 patients and performed more than 70,000 treatments. 

RFDS Tasmania supports the aeromedical service that is based at Launceston Airport and utilises airstrips at Strahan, Wynyard, Devonport, Hobart, St Helens, Flinders Is, King Is and Cape Barren Is. Most of the infrastructure, such as patient transfer shelters, was built and is maintained from funds raised through the community. 

It runs a popular education program, both online, in schools and including school group visits to the base at Western Junction. This a way to educate young people about history and good health practices.
