The AGM saw the reappointment of our dedicated Committee and the addition of a new Committee member, Joneen Troup. Sadly, Peter Kelly chose not to nominate this year and we thank him for his great contribution. We are fortunate to have a cohesive and supportive committee who are passionate about our community. Our Annual Report showcases the last financial year and you will find it online at www.chace.org.au.
We have record numbers of vocational students enrolled, working in or towards careers in aged, disability and community care. At a time when these professions are so in demand it’s a privilege to support students in their studies. You too may find our courses a great gateway to a new and rewarding career. We are providing more flexibility in our training, allowing students to continue working whilst reskilling or gaining additional qualifications.

We recently held the College’s Annual General Meeting (AGM). It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the year and recognise student achievements.

I love the buzz of an inspired and happy class and can’t wait to see what term four brings. Our brochure has something for everyone so I hope you enjoy choosing your next learning adventure.
