CEO Message – Winter 2019

It is hard to believe it has been over one year since the NDIS commenced rollout at CBCHS.  While there have been many challenges with implementing the scheme, it has presented many opportunities that have enabled us to expand our disability service offerings for clients.

We are now pleased to offer Support Coordination to help NDIS participants make the most of their funds and connect them with providers.  As a health and disability provider with 30 years’ experience, we have a lot to offer in this space and look forward to helping people get the most out of their plan.

Additionally, we recently received accreditation to provide NDIS Early Intervention Supports for children 0-6 years.  This will be another important service we will offer with planning under way.

It was also pleasing to host two important events recently – a Volunteer Week morning tea to thank our amazing team of volunteers and an event to mark National Reconciliation Week.

Looking ahead, November 2019 marks 30 years since CBCHS first opened its doors to the community.  We will be commemorating this milestone with a special event to tie in with our AGM as well as a campaign to celebrate our history and achievements.  Watch this space for more details.

Acting CEO, George Robinson
