Summer Edition
It’s time to farewell our wonderful Executive Directors, Shirley Paterson and Denice Wharldall, who are both retiring from working life, today. No words will suffice to thank them both for their outstanding contribution to the disability sector in South Australia, their tireless advocacy work and their caring leadership of HomePlace. We are going to miss them very much and we wish them all the best for a happy retirement!

Spring Edition
This time last year HomePlace had just celebrated its 30th Anniversary with a dinner
as part of our AGM and we danced the night away. We were not to know how much
the world would change this year. At this year’s AGM held in October, sadly we had
no dancing and had to follow strict COVID rules. Despite the restrictions it was a
great evening and a chance for us all to catch up.

Winter Edition
There is no doubt the Coronavirus has dominated our world since the last newsletter. While we re-emerge into our wider world, the clear threat of COVID-19 remains. Globally, infections are still growing in several countries, and in our own backyard, authorities in Melbourne are grappling with a sharp rise in cases.

Summer Edition
We trust everyone enjoyed the Christmas/New
Year holidays and life is getting back to normal.
Our thoughts go out to those affected by the
bush fires; it has been a difficult time for many
Australians.

Spring Edition
What a busy few months it has been. HomePlace celebrated its 30th Anniversary at our AGM in September with over 100 people in attendance. We kept formalities to a minimum, so we had a chance to enjoy a delicious roast dinner and wonderful entertainment. It was great to see everyone dancing and having a great time. A thank you to Our Voice for the goodie bags

Winter Edition
Welcome to the first edition of the HomePlace News. We have so much going on at HomePlace, and I’m pleased to be able to share it with you. Preparing for the NDIS has absorbed much of our energy over the past three years, and I am happy to announce that all of our participants have now transitioned, and we are 100% in the new world of the NDIS.
