White Ribbon Day
In Australia, one in four women, aged 18 and over, will experience intimate partner violence, and one in five will experience sexual violence. But for women with disabilities, their chances are doubled.
In early December, Bankstown NSW was a sea of smiles and colour when supported employees, students, families, staff and community came together to celebrate the 2023 Client Achievement Awards.
“This was the first-time post COVID-19 that we have been able to bring everyone together”, said Stephen Price, General Manager Packaging Solutions.
“I just wanted to bottle the excitement in the room.” The Client Achievement Awards showcased the many achievements of our supported employees and jobseekers including our Registered Training Organisation (METS) and school leaver employment support programs.
In addition, businesses were recognised for their commitment and support in making available employment opportunities for people with disability. Supported employees in the Packaging Solutions program were also recognised for milestones in their length of service.
“With more than 600 people in the room, the buzz and joy was something to behold,” said Stephen.
Education and employment are fundamental human rights. Inclusion and human rights are central to how Scope has operated for over 75 years and will continue to be our priority into the future.

Congratulations to all 2023 Award recipients!
Chewbacca, Michael Myers and Harley Breen… oh my!
When Eddie and Daniel found out about ComiCon from one of their support team Terri, they knew they had to be part of the fun! Both participants sat down with us recently to share their experience.
