This week we said a farewell to a truly special member of the Mpower family, Penny as she retires after an incredible 22 years of dedicated service.
For more than two decades, Penny has made a profound difference in the lives of children, families, and colleagues across our community. Starting as an Early Childhood Intervention Worker and later becoming our Coordinator of Client Engagement, she brought her Occupational Therapy expertise, compassion, and unwavering commitment to supporting others in every role she held.
Throughout her time at Mpower, Penny has been a trusted guide for families, helping them navigate challenges with kindness, patience and understanding. Many will remember her as the calm, reassuring presence at the other end of the phone, always ready to listen and provide support when it was needed most.
One of Penny's many lasting contributions was her leadership during the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Working alongside colleagues, she helped develop resources and deliver information sessions throughout our region, empowering countless families to confidently navigate a time of significant change.
While Penny's achievements are many, it is her warmth, generosity, professionalism, and genuine care for people that have left the greatest impact. Her legacy can be seen in the families she supported, the children whose lives she helped improve, and the colleagues she mentored along the way.
Penny, thank you for your dedication, your compassion, and the countless contributions you have made to Mpower and our community over the past 22 years. You have made a lasting difference, and your influence will be felt for many years to come.
As you begin this exciting new chapter, we wish you every happiness, good health, and plenty of time to enjoy family, friends, travel and all the things you love.
Congratulations on an exceptional career and a well-deserved retirement. You will be greatly missed and always remain a valued part of the Mpower family.

Our Kidz in the Community (KitC) adventure to Budj Bim was a fantastic day of exploration, discovery, and connection with nature. With two participants supported by one dedicated staff member, the group enjoyed exploring the fascinating lava caves at Byaduk and taking in the natural beauty of Budj Bim National Park. Throughout the day, participants were encouraged to ask questions, investigate their surroundings, and challenge themselves in a safe and supportive environment. The smaller group setting allowed for personalised support and meaningful engagement, helping participants build confidence, develop independence, and create lasting memories.
