Victoria was asked to manage Coffee Potts Café and a salon within the new Langwarrin Community Aged Care complex. Social Enterprises’ purpose is to create successful businesses, whose profits are reinvested to enhance MiLife-Victoria’s disability services. At the same time, these businesses provide training and work experience opportunities to National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants. As we know, disability activities continue to be woefully under-funded and the organisation needs to subsidise the NDIS income to ensure that we provide the highest quality support. So much has changed in 12 months and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for taking the journey with us. Thank you also to the MiLife-Victoria staff and Board of Management for making the transition to new leadership smooth and for bearing with me while I ask 1,001 questions. I have loved every minute of it. It is a privilege to work with such talented, caring and dedicated people and I look forward to working with each and every staff member to continue to grow our organisation and do what we do best: support our fantastic and aweinspiring clients to continue to flourish and reach their goals. Please take the time to read over the rest of the report to find out more about the wonderful achievements we’ve had, and enjoy the successes of the last year.
Amanda Youngs CEO, MiLife-Victoria.
