Dress for Success Tasmania supports women to thrive in work and in life, providing suitable work outfits, styling advice, a network of support and the tools to help them achieve their goals.
The charity has provided clothing and career support to almost 1000 women since supporting their first client in 2019. They’re best known for their free pre-employment styling sessions, where clients from all walks of life are literally dressed for success, as they’re outfitted in items appropriate for the job they’re seeking to attain and given guidance and support to help them get ready for an interview or to commence employment.
RACT staff had a great time helping to sort and prepare high-quality items generously donated by Tasmanians.
“This was one of the best volunteer days I have ever done” RACT’s Leah Tierney said. “Having seen the donations come in, and to now help prepare some of them to be used in their programs has been a really uplifting experience.”
“When our clients first see themselves in the mirror, wearing the new clothes, you can literally see their eyes light up and shoulders pull back with a new level of confidence. It’s so rewarding.”
