AFFORD are proud to announce that two of our four DES sites have been awarded a 5 star rating by the Department of Social Services. The star ratings system measures the relative success of providers in achieving an outcome for customers participating in the program. Ratings are from one to five stars, with one being the lowest and five being the highest achievement. The AFFORD Fairfield and Bankstown DES sites have achieved an outstanding rating of 5 stars, followed by Liverpool who achieved a 4 star rating and Blacktown who achieved a 3 star rating. While it is wonderful to receive the recognition from the Department for the work undertaken by our sites, the important thing is that the star ratings recognise the incredible results achieved by AFFORD consultants who work really hard to source employment opportunities and create a sense of achievement and purpose for our customers which improves their quality of life. Congratulations to the teams at Fairfield and Bankstown for achieving a 5 star rating.
