Connecting with our local Communities

Having worked in the industry for more than 50 years’, Sonic HealthPlus understands the importance of promoting good health, safe workplaces and strong communities. We have a strong set of company values which form the foundations of how we conduct our business. Being connected to our people, our community and our clients is one of these fundamental values. It is for this reason, that we donate our time, expertise and resources to support those in our community who not only demonstrate, but live these values too.

Plus Community allows us to give a little extra support to establish or build-upon grass root initiatives that positively impact the communities around us. Initiatives can range from anything to everything, as long as they demonstrate one of the following:

  • good health
  • safe workplaces
  • strong communities

How it works

  1. Every quarter we will give back to three charities in the Pilbara Region.
  2. Each charity will have a jar in each of our Pilbara clinics for the quarter.
  3. On each visit, GP patients will receive a token.
  4. Patients use this token to vote for their favourite organisation.

At the end of each quarter we count the tokens in each jar and $300.00 goes to the winner, with $100.00 going to the two runners up.

Get Involved

  • If you are interested, please read the terms and conditions, prior to completing the application form.
  • Groups will be chosen from the communities surrounding our clinics so we can give back to our local communities.
  • Sonic HealthPlus will chose groups that best demonstrate healthy and safe community values. The decision lies with our local judging panel. We apologise if you don’t get through and encourage you to apply again.

  8. 20. Approval of an application does not guarantee participation in [SHP Plus Community Initiative] in any particular Sonic HealthPlus Clinic in any particular quarter, which will be determined by Sonic HealthPlus in its absolute discretion.

  9. 21.
