OESC is sincerely honoured to be able to fund, through the ClubGrants Program, 96 Supertee packs that have been gifted to the Paediatrics Ward at the Orange Health Service.
The Supertee is a purpose built medical garment designed to inspire children's imaginations while simplifying their medical care in hospitals. With Marvel superhero inspired designs, it allows for easy changes and access to medical lines, offering comfort, convenience, and the magic of imaginative play.
The Supertee helps these brave kids be recognised as the true superheroes they are.
About the Supertee Project
Fair Fight Foundation Limited aims to alleviate the discomfort and distress children experience when battling life-threatening conditions. The Supertee is a medical garment disguised as a superhero costume which has been specifically designed for children facing long term treatment. It is purpose built with plastic press studs on the sides and shoulders to be able to by-pass IV cables, oxygen cables, heart rate monitors and other medical equipment that a child may be hooked up to.
The aim is to give a Supertee to every child up to the age of 14 in Australia who is facing a long-term hospital stay.
"Since its launch in June 2018, the Supertee Project has gifted over 20,000 medical garments to children facing huge battles and has been welcomed by all major children's hospitals and paediatric wards in Australia" - Fair Fight Foundation
