A Community Coming Together

As recovery efforts from the recent major weather event continue, selectability is working through the impacts to operations and supporting our hardest hit regions as they continue to deliver services to vulnerable regional Queenslanders, despite not having a physical premises to base themselves.

As one of our most affected regions, the Ingham team, led by regional coordinator Julie Ross, has continued to provide support to their consumers, looking for innovative ways to stay connected amidst adversity.

“I am incredibly proud of the entire team and community for coming together during this event,” said Julie.

As an essential service, selectability employees have been providing phone support to consumers where possible both during the event and after.

“We have seen strong displays of community and dedication during this time, including a generous donation from the local Coles,” Julie said.

“With their support, we were able to prepare and hand out close to 50 food bags for consumers once roads were clear enough to drive on.

“The community was without these services for a long period of time, so we wanted to ensure those they had enough until they had access.

“From milk, bread and pasta, to hygiene items and cakes, consumers were very excited to receive supplies!”
