World’s Greatest Shave Agent Revealed!
Hi there!
I’m on a mission to shave the world from blood cancer…
Will you be my shave-sidekick and sponsor me for World’s Greatest Shave?
Every day another 47 Australians are diagnosed with a blood cancer, that’s one Aussie every 31 minutes.
Your donation will make sure families facing blood cancer have a place to call home during treatment, someone to turn to, and access to the best possible care and treatment. You will also help drive funding for Australia’s best and brightest blood cancer researchers in their quest to deliver rapid advancements in diagnosis, treatment and ultimately a cure.

Recognition from Melbourne Water
Melbourne Water have provided a great piece of feedback with respect to the Gardiners Creek team – some poor processes from Melbourne Water and other parties in relation to confined spaces were picked up by the SFP team and escalated, which helped prevent any adverse safety incidents from taking place.
Great Work!

About International Women’s Day
International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality. IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organization specific.
This year’s theme is Break the Bias
Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias. Food for thought for your soundtrack.
