🌟 Support Worker Spotlight: Alec 🌟

At ILSA, we believe in empowering people to live with independence, choice, and confidence through consistent and person-centred support.

Today, we’re proud to recognise Alec, a dedicated support worker who continues to make a positive impact through his commitment, reliability, and strong communication and organisational skills. Alec plays an important role in supporting both clients and the wider team, helping to ensure supports are delivered in a steady and professional way.

We’re grateful to have Alec as part of the team. He is a valued contributor who helps strengthen the quality of support we provide every day, and we appreciate the consistency and care he brings to his work.

Shoutout to ILSA Super stars Liam and Miku!! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Last weekend they took on the Brisbane Half Marathon and absolutely smashed it.

Liam finished in 1:52, and Miku in 1:57, they both walked away with personal bests! 🎉

An incredible effort from both of you. Congratulations Liam and Miku on such an outstanding achievement! 👏

We’re excited to share that our Mackay office recently hosted three Epilepsy training sessions, bringing together 35 of our dedicated Support Workers as part of our ongoing commitment to a skilled workforce.
Delivered by FACT, a trusted local Registered Training Organisation (RTO), the sessions focused on building skills and knowledge in line with NDIS practice standards. It was fantastic to hear such positive feedback from our team, with many Support Workers feeling confident and empowered to apply what they’ve learned in their day-to-day support of participants.
We were also delighted to receive wonderful feedback from Elsa at FACT, who praised the high quality of our ILSA Support Workers, and gave our training facilities a 10/10 rating.
