‘A Metre Matters’

The ‘a metre matters’ advertisement has commenced on Channel Ten, will be seen in cinemas from 14 February and will soon start on Foxtel. The campaign is set to get a boost with the appearance of a billboard in Melbourne and Brisbane from February 1st (Sydney at a later date). The first person to tell us the location of one of the billboards (email: info@amygillett.org.au) will win a set of German engineered Continental Car Tyres – one of the top premium tyre manufacturers worldwide – to the value of $1,000.

The Amy Gillett Foundation welcomes Melitta Pinney to the team as Administration Assistant. As our activities grow we are also out-growing our office. We are on the look out for someone to sub-let our office so we can subsequently move into larger premises to continue our work of road safety. If you, or someone you know, is looking for a 2-3 person office (Queens Rd, Melbourne) please contact us on (03) 9863-7041.

We're also putting together a database of volunteers and will put the call out soon. In the meantime with the expansion of our office we need someone who can help us with IT support, specifically systems administration. Please contact us on info@amygillett.org.au
