Category 124 AustrAlAsiAn Dentist Dr torre says a life of rapid change in tech, reporting and data management in her own dental career had exposed her to the benefits in a creative, adaptable, tech- curious attitude, “there are new ways of doing everything,” she says, “including good deeds.” “From the start, i wanted to see this as the biggest giving platform in Australia,” says Zara. there were times when Corona Virus impacts to her part time work caused serious doubts, and alarming bank balances, she says, “but we made it, on a bootstrap.” “Yes, i know,” she laughs. “A dentist starting a tech company? it seems at first maybe a strange idea, but actually, it’s so natural. the tech world uses so many of the skills we’re professionally excellent at, and applies them in a way that’s creative and logical, reliable, detailed and good for everybody. “there are many synergies between what inspires and stimulates me as a dentist in this project; it’s a direct and immediate way of helping people, there are tangible and clear improvement in lives being made, there’s application of new science and tech, as well as the creative challenge to explore possibilities in tiny spaces that is what dentistry is all about.” According to Dr torre, the average Australian makes about 11 card transactions a day. An individual using The Difference might give about $30 a month in rounded up giving of the small change from their purchases. the app allows users to simply set up their giving, choose one of our charities, set a giving cap from as little as $5 a month, and know that the money will be responsibly cared for. “Our givers know that every time their shopping change is rounded up at a card, till, paypal or apply pay purchase they are making a genuine difference to someone who needs it, and to excellent teams creating a better future,” says Zara. “We’reworkingwith amazing charities in youth care, cancer support, sustainable building and ocean care and looking for more. i hope the dental community might come forward to support, get the App, get onboard, and let us know of great causes we can add to the family.” You can head to the-difference.org to download the App, buy a t-shirt, and support great future-building by one of our own. u ColUMniStS PracticePurchase • CommercialProperty • GoodwillLoans • OverdraftFacilities • HomeLoans • CarLoans • Equipment&FitoutFinance • SMSFLending credabl.com.au 1300 CREDABL (1300 27 33 22) The issuer and credit provider of these products and services is Credabl Pty Ltd (ACN 615 968 100) Australian Credit Licence No. (ACL) 499547. “ “ Getting more from my finance partner, means my patients get more from me.
