Dental profession and industry rally to aid bushfire victims

With over 5000 people made homeless by the fires, all needing shelter, clothing and personal toiletries, ADAVB is delighted to report that Colgate and Oral B have made large donations of oral health and personal health products. These products have been supplied to welfare agencies for distribution. Colgate has also made a significant cash donation.

Members can play an immediate and direct role in aiding bushfire victims by making blood donations to the Blood Bank and cash donations to recognised charities supporting bushfire victims. Online donations can be made at the following links:

Red Cross Bushfire Appeal

Salvation Army Bushfire Appeal

Members around the State are offering various other forms of direct and indirect assistance to Bushfire relief, and continuing efforts at local level are strongly encouraged.

ADAVB extends its deepest sympathies to all who have been affected by the devastating fires, and its admiration to fire, emergency services and welfare personnel who have been at the front line in this largest ever Australian peacetime disaster.
