 Sonja TERPSTRA (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:59): I also had the pleasure of visiting Ability Works last week, which is a terrific not-for-profit social enterprise that provides tailored employment opportunities for people living with a disability. Their work spans manufacturing, packing, mailroom services and warehousing, and they are breaking down barriers every day. Ability Works is committed to purpose through employment, and their efforts make a real difference to individuals and to our broader community. I want to thank the team for showing me around and for taking me through and explaining the vital work that they do. These experiences remind me, and all of us, that the strength and diversity of our community and supporting initiatives that create opportunity and connections are important.
