Senator Linda Reynolds visits our Tasmanian office
- 09 Feb 2022
Baptcare’s Launceston office welcomed some special guests last week – Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Senator Linda Reynolds and Bridget Archer MP – Liberal Member for Bass.
We were thrilled to share some of our work in the NDIS and Early Childhood Approach spaces, as well as some testimonials of inspirational clients whose lives have been transformed by the care of Local Area Co-ordinators and the NDIS across North and South-West Tasmania. You can watch some of these stories here: An Ordinary Life
‘These good news stories reflect the true intent of the NDIS scheme’ commented Senator Linda Reynolds.
The Minister was also very complimentary of the ‘true person centred’ approach that Baptcare takes with all aspects of our interactions with participants. She commented that we’ve always been proactive in consulting with acknowledged leaders within the industry to find a way to solve identified gaps.
We feel that this observation was a testament to the very heart of Baptcare. Our work in this space is an example of our mission in action, striving to take positive actions to assist people with disability to be able to live their best lives.
Amanda Williams, NDIS Community Manager at Baptcare commented that ‘Senator Reynold’s visit made me realise that I am working for an organisation that truly cares, and who takes positive actions to assist peoples with disability to be able to live their best life.’
