FAQs

Company

  • Can I donate to Give Back Health?

    Give Back Health is a purpose-led company and social enterprise, not a charity. We do not, therefore, accept public donations.

    If you would like to make a donation, we encourage you to donate directly to our impact partners who are doing fantastic work and are all registered charities and non-profits:

  • What is a social enterprise?

    Social enterprises are commercially viable businesses that exist to benefit the public and the community. They are different to charities and non-profits in that they may still have shareholder obligations. A social enterprise seeks to use their profits and influence for greater good in the world.

  • What is Give Back Health's mission?

    Our mission is to give back health to the vulnerable, at-risk members of our society through nutritional intervention.

    We have committed to giving away 10 million doses of premium, therapeutic nutritional formulations to impact partners in the next five years.

    From 2021-2024 we have aligned with Australian charities and non-profits that focus on supporting youth and women who are living below the poverty line and face an increased risk of housing insecurity or homelessness.

  • What is Give Back Health's vision?

    We imagine a world where everyone can enjoy better health. When people are healthy, everything else becomes better too.

    When it’s only some people who can afford or source or access better quality health products, there’s inequality. That’s a problem.

    We believe there's another way.

  • Contacts

  • Do you have a tech support team?

    As such, we don’t have a tech team. This is intentional as we work on minimal overheads to allow us to donate dose for dose to charities who support the vulnerable in our communities and also to maintain quality formulations and ingredients at great value pricing.

    If you’re a patient, please contact your healthcare practitioner directly as they are best placed to support you.

    If you’re a healthcare practitioner, we do offer product support via:

    1. Technical factsheets. Practitioners can access these via our distributors or on request. These factsheets contain common dosage ranges as well as other ingredient information;
    2. Our distributor partners, Oborne and Vital.ly, who have been trained in our products and do offer some Technical Support to healthcare practitioners;
    3. A growing collection of FAQs on our website; 
    4. Our Scientific Advisory Committee, headed by Dane Renshaw from Atomic Regs and including two PhD practitioners/educators. They are our guiding light for formulations, claims, regulations, education and tech queries that can’t be answered elsewhere.
