Commercialising Ideas
Online via Webinar
Thursday 10th June from 4:00pm-5.00pm
Business needs innovation. Bringing ideas to market however, needs a solid, systemized approach. Growing a business to build value or for sale can present challenges for companies with debt finance options greatly reduced.
Presented by the NSW Innovation Advisory Service (IAS), the seminar Commercialising Ideas will explore options for business to consider when commercialising their innovation and building their company for growth.
“Companies wishing to explore their financing options and have innovations that they wish to bring to the market place should attend” says Dan Liszka, CEO NSW Innovation Advisory Service. “Smart companies are always looking for ways to leverage innovation into growth,” he says.
Commercialising Ideas will be presented by Dan Liszka and Maryam Khajeh of Davies Collison Cave, Australia’s leading patent attorney firm.
The NSW Innovation Advisory Service is supported by the NSW State Government to provide assistance to innovators, inventors, entrepreneurs and small to medium enterprises to turn new ideas into viable products and new businesses.
To register for the webinar call 1300 411 417 or email info@ausinvent.com.

HELP SAVE OUR FUZZY ORANGE FRIENDS WHILST HAVING HEAPS OF FUN AT YOUR SCHOOL!
Orangutan, in Indonesian, means ‘person of the forest’. Orangutans are gentle and smart apes who need your help! Their population is becoming smaller and smaller as well their habitat is destroyed to harvest palm oil, timber and paper.
Their home and their play area, the Indonesian & Malaysia rainforest, is chopped away at a whopping 300 hundred football fields an hour! Can you imagine how many trees, orangutans and other animals we are losing in the world?
Orangutans can’t fight back and they are gravely endangered; Sumatran orangutans may no longer be with us at the end of this decade. That is just too soon!
The good news is that helping our fuzzy friends is easy, fun and there’s lots of ways to do it! We call it, Colour It Orange.
You can talk to your mum and dad about Colour It Orange and how you can help orangutans together. You can learn more about orangutans at http://www.education.orangutan.org.au, and even adopt a orphan baby orangutans in Indonesia or Malaysia, so that they can eat lots of food and grow up in a safe environment with other orangutans and hopefully go back to the wild.
Or you can ask your teachers and school to be involved in helping the orangutans. The Colour It Orange website has lots of cool fundraising ideas for your school so that you and all of your friends can help the orangutans together.
Some kids have already organised a fundraising day for their school. They had lots of fun, got to wear casual clothes to school and the best thing is that they are all helping to save the orangutans in the wild!
So what are you waiting for? Just hop on to http://www.education.orangutan.org.au and tell your friends, family and school about them too!
National Children’s Ambassador – Daniel Clarke
Over the past two years of passionately raising money to save the orangutan Daniel has raised over $15,500 and has brought awareness to the plight of the orangutan to all Australians.
The Australian Orangutan Project proudly made Daniel their National Children’s Ambassador in 2007, 2008 & 2009 and is continuing to support Daniel in his quest to educate all of the children in Australia by establishing the national education program called “Colour it Orange”.

It's Never Too Early to Save the World
Calling all Mums, Dads, Teachers and Schools!
Do you want to educate your students on a topic that excites and entertains them? Do you want to let your students or children feel that they can make a difference? Do you want them to understand the current social issue such as global warming and conservation?
Not-for-profit and national organisation, the Australian Orangutan Project (AOP) is launching a comprehensive educational program, Colour It Orange that provides all the essential resources for you to make it all happen.
The purpose of AOP is to conserve and preserve orangutan habitat in Indonesia and Malaysia, and to assist in the rehabilitation and care of orangutans in care centres.
With a desire to encourage the young children to become an environmentally conscious generation, Colour It Orange is specifically designed for early childhood and primary students aged between 5 and 11. A program aimed at secondary school students plans to be developed in the near future.
Whether your class is a group of kindergarten or a group of grade 6’s, AOP provides various fundraising activity ideas such as dress up in orange clothes day, writing, drawing and/or painting competitions as well as a comprehensive pack of worksheets and classroom activities.
All the worksheets and activity packs for this program have been produced by teachers who have closely worked with AOP to ensure the accuracy of the content and relevancy to the educational system, as well as to the age group.
A diverse range of subjects such as habitat destruction, climate change, conservation, animal extinction and indigenous cultures of Indonesia are also covered through the worksheets and activities. By not only focusing on the orangutans but also on related issues, your students will learn that by helping the orangutans they are also involved in preserving our remaining natural rainforests, which in turn will stagnate the effect of global warming throughout the world.
To be involved in the program, you simply register on the AOP website http://education.orangutan.org.au. Once the registration is processed, you can download the educational packs that suit your students. Furthermore, a welcome pack including a DVD, poster, flyer, fundraising ideas, parent letters and all necessary forms will be sent out to you. There is no cost to register or participate.
The education website is designed specifically for students, it contains factual and relevant information to assist with school projects as well as competitions, photos of orangutans and blogs for them to enjoy and learn more about orangutans.
To register your class with Colour it Orange program or for further information, please contact Vicki Carter on 1300 RED APE (1300 733 273), email info@education.orangutan.org.au and/or visit http://education.orangutan.org.au.

Unique new cold sore formula relieves symptoms in one application
Australian sufferers’ of cold sores now have access to a cutting edge new product with the release of Dynamiclear Rapid into the Australian market.
According to a national survey conducted by the University of Sydney in 2006, three out of four adults have been exposed to the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), and may develop cold sore symptoms at some point in their life. Contributing causes including stress, poor diet and exposure to sunlight can trigger a breakout, which can last up to 2 weeks without treatment.
The revolutionary product has been developed by Naturopath, Iridologist and Homeopath, Dr John Spurge N.D. After working in the industry for over a decade, Dr Spurge was frustrated by the lack of effective products available for the Cold Sore and Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) sufferer, from both conventional and traditional therapies.
In June 2006, a multi-centre and comparator-controlled phase III clinical study was conducted on 150 subjects suffering from active and clinically diagnosed HSV lesions, aged between 18 to 55 years.
The remarkable results demonstrated 62% of Dynamiclear users experienced a complete disappearance of cold sore blisters within 48 hours after one application (compared with 13% of users in the comparator group).
In addition, 33% of users’ cold sore symptoms completely vanished within 24 hours of one application, with 90% of users’ blisters disappearing completely at the end of the 7-day trial period.
One user, Michelle from Clark County commented, “I started Dynamiclear and by day 3 the cold sore was gone. This is absolutely amazing as I always suffered for at least 7 to 15 days in the past.”
Another user stated, “Dynamiclear is the best solution and fastest acting product that I have ever used. Thank you.”
The launch of Dynamiclear Rapid heralds a breakthrough for sufferers who now have a fast-acting, effective solution to significantly reduce the ongoing embarrassment and pain associated with cold sores.
“The application of Dynamiclear lead to earlier crusting and healing of the lesions, erythema and pain. There were no reported clinically significant adverse events.”
Expert report by Professor John W Quin Director Clinical Immunology, Sexual Health and HIV Medicine, Liverpool Hospital, NSW.
Dynamiclear Rapid is manufactured in a Good Manufacturing Practise (GMP) certified laboratory to Australian and International Safety Standards, with natural products containing no preservatives and no testing conducted on animals. The product is listed in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods for management and relief of cold sore symptoms.
It is currently being distributed via pharmacies and leading health care providers.
Dynamiclear Rapid retails for $29.80 and is packaged in multiple single sterile applications. Its odourless formula is designed to dramatically improve symptoms within just 24 hours. Unlike existing cold sore products, results are seen rapidly from just one application, and there is no need for messy repeat applications and lengthy healing periods.

Help Save the Orangutans this Christmas
Adopt an infant orangutan or become a tree hugger with the Australian Orangutan Project.
Christmas is the time for giving, so why not invite a new member into your family by adopting, for the small sum of $55 a year, an infant orangutan through the Australian Orangutan Project (AOP). Each adoption comes with an adoption certificate, infant biography with colour photo, the most recent AOP newsletter, a sticker, fridge magnet and infant updates on how your orangutan is going at jungle school, in health and life.
All funds from the purchases made on the Australian Orangutan Project’s website go directly to helping the infant Orangutans. All products are available at www.orangutan.org.au.
Only one out of six orangutan orphans are lucky enough to be rescued from the sides of the roads or confiscated from families keeping them as illegal pets, with over 1000 orphaned orangutans living in rescue and rehabilitation centres throughout Indonesia.
A not-for-profit organisation, the Australian Orangutan Project also provides habitat protection through its own Safeguard program - several Wildlife Protection Units responsible for patrolling rainforest in Borneo and Sumatra. Over 100 orangutans alone have been released through rehabilitation programs in the Bukit Tigapuluh National Park ecosystem in Sumatra. Safeguard patrols work to protect these orangutans and deter illegal activities around the National Park including wildlife poaching, logging and land clearing.
Share the joy with your entire family and friends this festive season, and bring awareness to the plight of these endangered species and help secure their futures.
For hi-res images, prices and further information, please feel free to contact us at anytime.
