  Hi Yvonne, I'm interested in your establishment process. Do you operate as a small business. I am interested in Disability Support Workers becoming Independent Contractors. This gives greater choice and diversity and more responsive services without the competing demands of Non Government Organisation. Also it is more directly accountable where people are not lost in the system. Very interested in what you have done. Great stuff I hope to see more of it. Best wishes for your future.

  Hi all, I work for a NGO specifically in dementia community services. I am running a project in which we are trying to engage the local Noongar elders with memory loss, to tell their life stories and share with others, as a way to share information about dementia and memory loss. I am also an IHPO (Indigenous Health Project Officer) under the Closing the Gap program. Between both roles, I hope to listen, learn and facilitate people to live happy, healthy lives.
