Rural Lifestyle Options Australia
Community Service Provider
Welcome to Friendlier February! ✨
At the beginning of each month, our People and Culture Division share with staff the Action for Happiness Calendar through our monthly People and Culture Insights Update.
As an organisation, we are committed to re-sharing these Calendars, to remind everyone to keep calm, stay wise and be kind. 📅
‘Friendlier February 2021’ is a good reminder that "The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer somebody else up".
From today (Monday, 1 February 2021) the NDIS Worker Screening Check replaces the different arrangements operating in each state or territory, setting a minimum national standard that all workers engaged in risk assessed roles must meet.
This will provide a nationally consistent approach to help empower and support NDIS participants to exercise choice and control, while ensuring appropriate safeguards are in place. It also establishes expectations for providers and their staff to deliver high quality supports.
As an NDIS registered provider, all employees at Rural Lifestyle Options Australia must hold and maintain a positive NDIS Worker Screening Check.

Last month, we celebrated the achievements of Peter Grady! 🎉
In late January, Peter was presented with an Above and Beyond Award by Michelle Latailakepa, Chief Executive Officer.
Peter was nominated for going the extra mile, leadership and commitment. He has demonstrated extraordinary efforts to ensure the people he is supporting not only achieve their goals but also thrive. This has been seen through a participant’s lens who has become healthier and happier due to Peter’s support.
This has been recognised as extending Rural Lifestyle Options Australia’s mission of “Supporting a life of choice”.
Please join us in congratulating Peter!
