SPOTLIGHT ON TAYEF: NO MEANS NEXT OPPORTUNITY!

At the heart of Allcare’s finance team is someone who shows us daily what it means to keep going and aim high. Tayef, our Head of Finance, is not just good with numbers; he also teaches us about bravery and not giving up.

Life Change:

Back in 2003, Tayef had an accident that changed everything for him. He was super active and loved his job, so dealing with a significant change in his physical ability and how he navigated life with his arm injury was tough. But Tayef showed us you can find your strength and keep moving forward even when life gets challenging.

A New Start at Allcare:

ISSUE 5 - MAY 2024

After his accident, T found when he went to job interviews, he was judged based on his disability. But with his fantastic mindset and mantra, “No means next opportunity”, Tayef continued to search for the perfect opportunity. That’s when he found Allcare, and we have been blessed with more than just his skills in finance. He has brought a positive spirit and hard working nature to our organisation, and we are blessed to have him as Head of Finanace.

“Allcare made sure I had everything I needed to do my job well, and I have excelled and felt valued and heard”.

Full of Joy:

Tayef loves being with his family and friends and enjoys coming to work. At Allcare, he found a second family. Everyone is there for each other, celebrating the good times and supporting each other through the tough ones.

Doing Great Work:

Tayef is fantastic at his job. He looks at every detail, thinks about the big picture, and is always there to help his team. His hard work and dedication make a big difference at Allcare.

Sharing His Journey:

Tayef’s story is about more than just getting through a tough time; it’s about doing great things and leading a fulfilling life. He’s a perfect example that no matter what happens, you can keep moving forward and achieve something extraordinary.

Let’s all be inspired by Tayef’s attitude of living each day with joy and teamwork, making the most of every moment, and helping each other build a caring and empowering workplace.

A CUP OF KINDNESS AT THE ALLCARE BIGGEST MORNING TEA.

In a heartwarming show of solidarity and support, our Allcare family came together for the much-anticipated Biggest Morning Tea. A heartfelt thank you to all who participated in helping us raise more than $300 for the Cancer Council.

The morning tea event buzzed with the aroma of fresh coffee and tea, complemented by an abundant spread of delicious treats. Live music filled the air, setting the stage for a day of connection and happiness. Amidst the laughter, our fun photo booth captured the joyful moments shared among friends, colleagues, and the people at the heart of our services.

An exciting announcement made the day even more memorable, launching our over 50’s Day Program, dedicated to offering enriching activities for our cherished clients. As we looked forward to the difference this initiative would make, we invited new members to join us in nurturing a compassionate environment where everyone can find their place to thrive.

Importantly, our Biggest Morning Tea was more than just a get-together, it was a critical effort in supporting the nearly 150,000 Australians diagnosed with cancer each year. Each ticket, donation, and raffle entry at events like ours contributed to a wider cause, aiding 150,000 families in navigating one of their most challenging journeys. The services funded by our Biggest Morning Tea and similar events across the country were vital, making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by cancer. It was a cause that brought our community together, inspiring action, and a shared commitment to make every cup count.

Thank you for filling our cups with kindness and commitment. Your ongoing support is what makes our Allcare family so special. Together, we were not just enriching lives locally but also contributing to a national effort in cancer support and awareness.

A COLOURFUL LEADER: MICHELLE, OUR ALLCARE ACHIEVER!

At Allcare, we celebrate the extraordinary efforts of our staff, who consistently go above and beyond in their roles. We introduced the Allcare Achievers recognition program to honour this commitment and dedication, an initiative designed to spotlight these exceptional individuals. Each month, we will nominate a staff member who exemplifies our core values of care, excellence, and teamwork, showcasing the true spirit of Allcare.

This month, we are proud to recognise Michelle Flynn as our Allcare Achiever. Nominated by our CEO, Ali Warwar, Michelle’s unwavering dedication and outstanding contributions truly set the standard for what it means to be part of the Allcare family. Join us in applauding Michelle’s remarkable achievements and stay tuned for more inspiring stories of our team’s dedication and hard work.

It has been an absolute pleasure working alongside Michelle Flynn. The energy, culture, rebrand, colours—everything about this senior leader truly embodies the values we cherish at Allcare.

Michelle consistently demonstrates our core values of humility, striving for the best outcomes, trustworthiness, thoughtfulness, and dedication. We had little to no branding before Michelle’s involvement in our marketing efforts. Now, we proudly present a beautiful brand that truly represents our organisation and its vision. Michelle is always focused on achieving the best outcomes for Allcare and has been an exceptional mentor. Michelle took someone with no marketing experience under her wing, and now they not only enjoy coming to work every day but also possess exceptional marketing skills. It’s people like Michelle that make us love the industry we’re in. She helps us share our success stories and reflect on our many wins. As a true team player, Michelle has connected with everyone in the organisation, earning immense respect from all. We need more people like Michelle!

If you know someone who embodies the spirit of an Allcare Achiever, we encourage you to nominate them. Your recognition and appreciation of their hard work and dedication are invaluable to us.

Please send your nomination and a description of what makes them an outstanding Allcare staff member tomarketing@allcaredisabilties.com.au. Your recognition could be the boost they need to continue their exceptional work.
