EBL’s NDIS Best Practice Acknolwedged E BL completed a very robust and thorough NDIS Audit before Christmas. The NDIS Auditors who work across Australia really put us through our paces and we are proud to share that NO non-conformance was identified across all of EBL services. In fact, there were many areas of best practice acknowledged and we received heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS from the Auditors for delivering an exemplary service to people with disabilities. What this means for service users is that they can feel confident that we meet all aspects of the NDIS Code of Conduct and Practice Standards Quality Indicators. If you are interested to learn more about the detail of the Standards, you can find the Code and Quality Indicators at the following web address: www.ndiscommission.gov.au/document/986 Congratulations to the entire team and thank you for your commitment to help make this all happen! Thank You Julie! A fter 12 amazing years, we would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to one of our longest serving employees, Julie Mashford, who finishes up with EBL on April 3rd. Julie has been a valuable member of the EBL team since her first day with us on 2nd April 2007. Having started her time in Elizabeth Special School, she gained permanency with EBL after two years. She was actually offered permanency with the school at the same time, however, decided to work for EBL and as they say, the rest is history! During her time at EBL, Julie worked in many different houses, in particular, Daveron Park, Munna Para and Kilburn. She also played a big part in the Day Options program and just loved coming to work each day. “I am really fortunate to have loved my job and working with the clients, I will miss them,” said Julie. As Julie steps into her next adventure, she won’t have much time to spare after taking up tai chi, carpet bows, dining at lunches along with holidaying in Victor Harbour in May and taking a cruise in November! Fantastic!! Julie, on behalf of everyone at EBL, wishing you all the very best and thank you from the bottom of our hearts, we will miss you! EBL QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER 7
