A unique approach
Options. That’s what Virgin Mobile Australia offer staff. They let them follow theirhearts, choosing from a range of projects that they can get involved with to make a difference, rather than tying them to a single option. Being a force for good is part of every team and in each conversation about the Virgin Mobile Australia brand. Virgin Mobile Australia believes that if they work together as a community they can help those who need it most.

Working with Virgin Unite
It’s perhaps best summed up by Virgin Mobile Australia CEO Sue Bailey. She said during a Virgin Unite mentoring session with her senior leadership team at Oasis Youth Support Network:
“I've always been mindful of the Virgin Unite philosophy about different ways you can give, so we're excited to be able to spend time with you today and hope that we can give to you in a meaningful way that supports your very good work.”
Here’s what they are saying
"Being given the opportunity to be involved in Virgin Unite is a very special thing. Focusing all our efforts on the worthy cause of youth homelessness, and witnessing how our personal contribution is serving and helping others first hand, gives you a real sense of purpose. You really learn about strength and resilience of the human spirit being involved in Virgin Unite." - Sheridan Boggiano, Brand Manager, Virgin Mobile Australia
“In this very moment, there are people only you can reach…and differences only you can make. Virgin Unite seems to be able to bring those people together and get those differences to happen.” - Natasha Burns, Virgin Australia
