About Supertee

The Supertee is a medical garment that inspires imagination. It provides parents and hospital staff with an easier way to change their child while accessing or bypassing medical lines. Supertee aims to bring convenience, comfort, and the wonders of imaginative play to hospitals in Australia and around the world. We want kids to be recognised as the true superheroes they are. 

Thanks to the generosity of everyday Australians, community groups, corporate partners, and trusts and foundations, this award winning product is distributed to children’s hospitals, respite centres and paediatric wards nationwide free of charge. 

Supertee is so much more than a t-shirt; it’s a way to comfort children and families when they need it the most.  

Our story

Life has a strange way of testing people. Adversity affects people in many ways, with some seeing problems and others identifying challenges to overcome.

That was certainly the case for Jason Sotiris and his family.
Life dealt them the biggest challenge of all when their beautiful daughter Angela, at the age of just one, was diagnosed with cancer. Jason, a self-employed tradie, held his daughter close as the doctor broke the devastating news. Scans found tumours throughout Angela’s tiny body, and she was given a 20% chance of beating what was a rare, 1 in 100,000 disease.

Since its inception, Supertee has helped thousands of Australia’s sickest children and their parents. There are 150+ volunteers involved in supporting Supertee nationwide. Supertee won the Australia good design award for social impact in 2019, and the charity continues to grow by leaps and bounds thanks to supporters across the country.
