During National Reconciliation Week, members of Achieve's Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) working group visited each of our service locations to facilitate Yarning Circles.

Our teams and the people we support came together to share stories of happiness, connection and belonging. The conversation was a reminder of the importance of sharing stories and that joy is often found in life’s simplest moments. 💛

Following approval by Focal members, Focal Community Services will transition to Achieve Australia to support the long-term sustainability and continuity of services for participants, families, employees and the Ipswich community.

Focal has supported people with disability, their families and carers in Ipswich since 1974. It is a well-established not-for-profit disability provider, with an established NDIS client base, a locally embedded workforce and strong community relationships.

The decision follows careful consideration by the Focal Board and its Members of the changing operating environment for NDIS providers, and the need to support the long-term continuity of services for the Ipswich community.

Achieve Australia was selected as Focal’s transition partner following an expression of interest process. Key considerations included cultural fit, similar charitable purpose, the ability to sustain and enhance service delivery, and a commitment to offering ongoing employment for the majority of Focal’s workforce, particularly people in caring and support roles.

As Tanya Miller, Chief Executive Officer of Focal Community Services, said:

“For over 50 years Focal has maintained a strong commitment to supporting people with disabilities, their families and carers in the Ipswich region. This transitional partnership with Achieve Australia provides continuity and certainty to the community we serve.”

Achieve Australia is honoured to continue Focal’s work in Ipswich and support the people, families, employees and community connected to its services.

The transition process will focus on continuity of support for participants and families, clear communication with employees and stakeholders, and planning across services, workforce transfer, onboarding and compliance.

Today on Mabo Day, we acknowledge the legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo and the historic High Court decision that changed Australia forever.

Mabo Day recognises the moment the legal fiction of terra nullius, the idea that this land belonged to no one before colonisation, was overturned. It was a significant step in recognising the enduring connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to Country, culture and community.

At Achieve Australia, reconciliation is an ongoing commitment. Through our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we are committed to continuing to learn, listen and strengthen relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, while creating more inclusive and culturally safe communities.

Today, we pay our respects to Elders past and present and reflect on the importance of truth, recognition and walking together toward reconciliation.
