Better Together: Luke and Linda
While having worked together a mere 13 months, the camaraderie between Luke, a former Officer in the Australian Navy, and his support worker Linda is palpable.
As with any new year, we are off to a racing start at Scope. I hope you were able to spend some precious time with your family and friends during the Christmas and New Year period.
I’d like to say a personal ‘thank you’ to donors for your generosity during our Christmas Appeal at a busy time of year. With the current financial pressures, I want to recognise your act of kindness.
It has been an eventful few months at Scope, with our AGM and the launch of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) held towards the end of 2023. With the RAP, we got to know one of our own long-standing clients and First Nations artist, Greg Muir, who created a special piece of art titled, ‘Into Freedom’. The launch marks a significant step in our commitment to reconciliation, inclusivity, and respect. You can read more about Greg’s story in this newsletter.
We continue to celebrate 75 years of Scope, and in this edition, we are pleased to share more stories of longstanding clients and their journey with us over the years.
I look forward to what 2024 has to offer and once again, thank you for your support. You continue to make a difference in so many people’s lives, giving everyone an opportunity to belong and thrive.
With gratitude,
Kate MacRae
CEO
Scope (Aust) Ltd

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.
