"I'm actually really pleased with John's progress. We've noticed on his visits home that he is stringing more words together and trying to make conversation, which is a huge step forward, so I thank you for all your efforts to date."

"Would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the whole team at Hessel Group who had been tirelessly working with AR over the last few years. Today was indeed a big milestone for A, where he was able to step out of his comfort zone and take a giant leap towards getting himself vaccinated at the WCH Immunisation Clinic. The whole of last 2 years we have not been able to vaccinate him at all, however today A got his flu vaccine shot. Big Thanks to William for being by A’s side to encourage him to take that leap, and to the entire team at Hessel."

"In case I don’t get a chance to say this in person, I’d like to thank you for your support the last few months.

"Learning about the legislation and laws governing the aged care industry and how understanding the rules gives students a broad understanding of responsibilities and invokes confidence at work. It's good to know we're doing what is right."
