The second annual event hosted by iS Clinical ANZ and High Tech Medical, celebrating Platinum Circle members.
iS Clinical recently held its 2024 Platinum Circle Retreat in the heart of the ancient Daintree Forest. The second of its kind to be held by iS Clinical ANZ distributors, High Tech Medical, the retreat celebrates Platinum Circle members, recognising their achievements and commitment to the brand.
The retreat, a 3-night escape to the luxurious Silky Oaks Lodge, provided a space of luxury, nature and camaraderie among colleagues. The theme was based on embracing Aboriginal culture, symbolic of iS Clinical’s use of certain ingredients in formulations, like the Kakadu Plum, which can only be found in Australia and has a connection to Aboriginal culture.
