Welcome

I am currently appearing in a television commercial to create a national awareness campaign for this year’s Red Ribbon Appeal, which raises money to fight HIV/AIDS and to help people living with the virus.

I hope the campaign will help people understand that with 20 Australians being diagnosed with the virus every week, HIV is still a major health issue.   

I’ve lost friends to HIV/AIDS and I have friends who are living with the virus so it’s an issue that affects me personally. Right now there are almost 17,000 Australians living with HIV. When you take into account their partners, family, friends and carers, there are hundreds of thousands of people just here in Australia whose lives have been affected. And while there’s been some important medical advances in recent years, many people with HIV are doing it tough. The Red Ribbon Appeal is an opportunity for us to help these people as well as support programs that prevent the spread of HIV in our community.

Please show your support and get behind the Red Ribbon Appeal on 1st December by wearing a red ribbon and making a donation on World AIDS Day.

Congratulations to Michele from Hassall Grove, NSW
the winner of our October monthly mailing list draw.
