Aviatrix Adventures 2024
12th April 2024
In an inspiring leap towards making STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education more accessible, Aviatrix International's Manager, Georgie Arnold, is embarking on an extraordinary three-month journey across Queensland in collaboration with Red Dirt Robotics. This venture is not just a tour; it's a mission to bridge the educational divide, bringing cutting-edge technologies like robotics, 3D printing, and drones directly into the heart of schools and organisations that would otherwise be sidelined from such advanced learning opportunities. Through hands-on workshops and demonstrations, Arnold aims to ignite a passion for STEM subjects among young minds, showing them the limitless possibilities these fields and a career in aviation can offer. This remarkable initiative is made possible through the generous support of the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation, which has contributed $50,000 towards fuelling Red Dirt Robotics's and Aviatrix’ noble goal of democratising STEM education. This funding underscores the foundation's commitment to nurturing the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers, recognising the pivotal role that exposure to technology plays in shaping future careers. This tour is also not made possible without Aviatrix major tour sponsors, 4wd Central Townsville who have fully decked out a Dmax for Georgie to live in, as well as IOR which will generously supply fuel for the duration of the tour. As Georgie Arnold traverses the vast landscapes of Queensland, her journey represents more than just a tour; it's a beacon of hope and opportunity. Through her efforts, students in remote areas will get a rare chance to engage with technologies that are shaping the future. It's a testament to the belief that geography should not dictate one's access to education and opportunities in the increasingly tech-driven world. This venture not only highlights the importance of inclusivity in education but also sets a precedent for similar initiatives worldwide, aiming to make STEM education as accessible as possible for every child, regardless of their background or location.

OCTOBER OCEANS TO OUTBACK WRAP
31st October 2022
Wowsers what a month for the Aviatrix Australia team. 31 days later and it’s finally time to put the legs up, rest, reset and most importantly reflect on the difference we were able to make for not only the future of aviation but families in rural and remote communities who need the support from the Royal Flying Doctor Service. Throughout October 20 members of our community signed up to team Aviatrix Australia and set both a personal walk / run or ride distance and fundraising goal. Whilst there were quite literally some broken bones (due to personal reasons, not the challenge), bloody blisters, lots of sweat and potentially a few tears when those early morning alarms set off we are blown away with everyone's astonishing dedication and efforts towards this challenge. We are proud to announce we have skyrocketed past our fundraising goal which was originally set to $3,000. We would like to say the biggest thank you to all our sponsors who are the ones that made this possible, especially the incredible Explore Property Group who donated a very generous $1000 to team member and Aviatrix founder Michelle Arnold. Another shoutout to Aviatrix member Kady DelleBaite who was our fundraising runner up. Aviatrix Australia is looking forward to being involved in more community events and fundraisers in the future with the hopes to make a difference for aviation in our nation.

Twin Hills 2022
28th September 2022
Our very first event sponsorship! This year we were very proud sponsors of The Twin Hills Fashions On The Field and let us tell you….what a day it was. Founder Michelle & Manager Georgie Arnold plus friends started the day flying in style of course from the coast to the country with ZephAir Australia in the super comfortable Piper Navajo Aircraft. Upon arrival it was nothing but bubbles, big cowboy hats, and a boot scootin good time in the outback on the agenda. A huge thank you to all the locals, especially the Dennis family, Michelle and Georgie couldn’t stop saying how extremely accommodating and welcoming they were. The event was an absolute blast but these helping hands made it that extra bit special for our crew. It was an absolute privilege to attend and we are already hanging out for next year.

RFDS Oceans to Outback
14th September 2022
Australia is a big country, and for those living in rural and remote areas, access to immediate care isn’t a guarantee. For some communities, the nearest hospital is eight hours drive away. This October, the Aviatrix Australia community is taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. By going further, we hope to raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS). Australians with 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary healthcare services. That’s one person every two minutes! Together, we can keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue their life-saving work. Please donate to our challenge today!
