A Word from Bishop Godfrey 

In recent years much good work has been going on to 

strengthen the relationship between the Diocese of 

Rockhampton and Anglicare CQ. 

I am particularly grateful for the encouragement that Dr Philip 

Shade, the CEO of Anglicare has given to this. For the last two 

years we have had a joint gathering for senior staff of Anglicare 

and Clergy, and last year we also had a dinner for clergy and 

senior staff of Anglicare following Evening Prayer at Lis Escop. 

Such interpersonal events of course give visible form to the 

importance of our relationship, but it must be wider than this, 

and involve supportive and ongoing links between the clergy and 

people of the parishes and their local Anglicare staff. 

At times through the years I have been aware of tension in this 

relationship, with concerns expressed by people in the Church 

regarding the more secular approach of Anglicare staff. I would 

have to say that any such problem often comes as a result of the 

Church neglecting the importance of fostering and maintaining a 

good relationship. Very good people work for Anglicare, not all of 

them are secular in outlook and even with those who are, good 

friendship and support by Christians will commend the gospel, 

but resentment or keeping distance will do precisely the 

opposite. People in Anglicare are required to be sympathetic to 

the Christian ethos and origins of the organisation, but are not 

as such required to be Christian. We need them for the skills 

they have, in order for us to be able to tender to the government 

for the programmes we offer. 

I would love Anglicare to be 

more proactive in 

. responding to areas of need 

that exist in local 

communities. This could 

often be done in direct 

partnership with parishes, 

but such activities would be 

outside the guidelines for 

government assisted 

programmes. This is where 

Anglicare needs access to 

untied funds that come 

Bishop Godfrey Fryar 

directly from the Church 

and the community. 

I know Anglicare would like to restart the annual 

appeal, not only to the wider community, but also 

to the people of the parishes. This will need the cooperation 

of parishes, including in allowing direct 

mailing to people on parish rolls. I believe it is 

something we should support.

SOUTHERN REGION 

STAFF PROFILE – GLADSTONE 

Courtesy of article in „Housing People‟ April 2011 

. 

Name: 

Valerie Radloff 

Housing Coordinator 

Southern Region 

property or in a commercial or industrial 

enterprise, joint venturing, project 

management, bidding at auction for myself or 

for others, analysing 

or reporting on housing issues, studying 

housing systems, educating or being 

educated about housing ………the list goes 

on and on! 

I can honestly say that after 37 years 

involvement in the Australian housing system 

that “YES” I have a passion for housing and 

for what I have done and for what I will 

continue to do for the rest of my working 

career and in fact for the rest of my life. 

Years in housing: 

37 years: 13 in Community/Social Housing; 

23 in various private sectors; Real Estate 

and Project Development or Property 

Management roles; and 2 running my own 

Real Estate business. 

Current project or activity: 

Coordinating the Gladstone Community Rent 

Scheme, a transitional housing program 

providing affordable housing and support to 

the Gladstone community. Change and 

growth is on the way as we take on an 

increased supply of affordable housing 

through the National Affordability Rent 

Scheme. 

What made you choose a housing 

career 

I didn‟t choose a housing career…….it chose 

me! At the ripe old age of 15, I was 

employed as a Junior Receptionist by a Real 

Estate agency in Victoria. As the youngest 

applicant I was also the cheapest potential 

employee! I was fresh out of school, able to 

type and add and subtract without a 

calculator, but I had no particular skills. The 

2 directors that I worked with for 4 years saw 

my potential and encouraged my developing 

passion for housing. Where did it lead me 

Housing, support related services, private or 

community management, renting, referring, 

advocating, buying, selling, estimating and 

assessing, asset managing, investing in 

7 

Accomplishment you are most proud of: 

I am most proud of the balance I have 

between my passion for housing and my 

stronger passion and love for my family. 

What makes you motivated or 

inspired to move on in your career 

Motivation is an inner inspiration. I will move 

on in my career in housing simply because of 

my passion for housing. 

What attributes make a great 

housing worker 

First and foremost is passion; secondly is 

enthusiasm and thirdly is commitment PLUS 

a genuine feeling that what you are doing 

benefits those you are working with and most 

importantly benefits you. 

What are the biggest challenges for 

housing professionals today 

Our biggest challenge is working towards 

achieving the Universal Declaration of 

Human Rights Article 25: “ Everyone has the 

right to a standard of living adequate for the 

health and well-being of himself and of his 

family, including food, clothing, housing. 

What are the future directions for 

the housing profession 

Housing and housing affordability are 

uppermost on the state and federal 

governments‟ agendas, so I see boundless 

opportunities for the housing profession to 

play a leading role in working towards 

achieving housing for all.


NEW FACES IN GLADSTONE 

This month we welcome two new members 

to the Gladstone Team. Avril Watson has 

joined as the Specialist Care Placement 

Support Worker and Karen Masters in the 

Administration Assistant role for the Foster 

Kinship & Specialist Care programs. As an 

introduction, both ladies gives us a little 

insight into who they are. 

Hi, my name is Avril Watson. 

I have recently joined the team at ACQ 

as a Specialist Care Placement Support 

Worker. 

I have worked with children and their 

families for 16 years and enjoy all 

aspects of my new position. 

The training that is provided by 

Anglicare will involve travelling to 

Brisbane which I am looking forward to; 

The best advice I have ever been given 

is from my mum “Never give up” 

I switch off from work by going home to 

my family, horses, dogs, cats, chooks 

and simply enjoying country life. I enjoy 

horseriding and attend the Calliope 

ponyclub as a riding member. At 

present I am studing for my Instructors 

Certificate. 

Hi, my name is Karen Masters 

I commenced one day before Avril as the 

Administration Assistant with the FKSC 

Program. 

Success to me is achieving your goals 

and loving what you do. Always have 

goals to work towards and the only way 

to achieve them is to.... 

“Never give Up” 

My first career break started through 

volunteering and I enjoy learning new skills 

and being creative. 

The best advice given to me was “better to 

ask than assume” 

I switch off from work by reading and am 

inspired by positive, happy people. 

In 5 years time, I see myself still learning 

and keeping up with technology. 

I define success as balancing my own 

personal life with work and achieve it 

through having a wonderful husband and 

great kids.

GLADSTONE ROTARY MIDDAY 

SUPPORT ANGLICARE 

Matt Burnett, a representative of the Midday Rotary Club presented our CEO Philip 

Shade with a generous donation of $2,000.00. 

This funding was raised from the Rotary Club hosting the Kmart Markets Monthly and 

the booking fee obtained from stall holders. 

Every year, Anglicare is one of the fortunate non profit organisations that Gladstone 

Midday Rotary supports. These markets are very popular on a Sunday and well 

supported by staff and community 

Anglicare Central Queenland acknowledges and appreciates the continued support 

received. 

Philip mentioned Anglicare‟s goal of “A Suitcase of Hope” which requires donation 

funding for a personal Suitcase of Hope for each child placed in foster care where they 

can purchase something new, something needed, something that is truly their own, 

something they may never have had before.

. 

Seven Steps to Reaching Your Goals 

Successfully executing any personal strategic plan for change 

requires that as you develop your plan, you effectively 

incorporate these seven steps for attaining each and every 

goal. 

1. Express your goal in terms of specific events or 

behaviours. 

For a dream to become a goal, it has to be specifically 

defined. When a goal is broken down into steps, it can be 

managed and pursued much more directly. When you set out 

to identify a goal, define what you want in clear and specific 

terms. 

2. Express your goal in terms that can be measured. 

How else will you be able to determine your level of progress, 

or even know when you have successfully arrived where you 

wanted to be 

3. Assign a timeline to your goal. 

Once you have determined precisely what it is you want, you 

must decide on a timeframe for having it. The deadline you've 

created fosters a sense of urgency or purpose, which in turn 

will serve as an important motivator. 

4. Choose a goal you can control. 

Unlike dreams, which allow you to fantasize about events over 

which you have no control, goals have to do with aspects of 

your existence that you control and can therefore manipulate. 

In identifying your goal, strive for what you can create, not for 

what you can't. 

5. Plan and program a strategy that will get you to your 

goal. 

Pursuing a goal seriously requires that you realistically assess 

the obstacles and resources involved, and that you create a 

strategy for navigating that reality. Your environment, your 

schedule and your accountability must be programmed in 

such a way that all three support you.. Without programming, 

you will find it much harder to stay on course. 

6. Define your goal in terms of steps. 

Major life changes don't just happen; they happen one step at 

a time. Steady progress, through well-chosen, realistic, 

interval steps, produces results in the end. Know what those 

steps are before you set out. 

7. Create accountability for your progress toward your 

goal. 

If you know precisely what you want, when you want it you 

are much more likely to continue in your pursuit of your goal. 

Find someone in your circle of family or friends to whom you 

can be accountable. Make periodic reports on your progress.

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE IN 

HOUSING TENANCY MANAGEMENT 

At the start of this year our Housing Team comprised of one full time Housing Coordinator, 

Val Radloff and one Housing Administrator, Carol Lattimer (30 hrs a week). 

In mid January Carol‟s role became full time to support our 60 tenants with their 

administrative needs. And what a marvellous job Carol does, not only with administration 

but also with Responsive and Planned Property Maintenance. 

Early in March we welcomed Maree Stebbings to our Team as Tenant Liaison Officer (20 

hrs a week). Maree‟s role is to offer one on one support to our tenants through education, 

information sharing, referrals and encouragement throughout their tenancy. The level of 

support offered varies because every one of our tenants is individual and unique and have 

different needs. 

The Liaison Officer role is new and we are still researching and developing the processes 

and service delivery framework. Maree has also undertaken Case Management training to 

gain skills which will help her develop positive relationships with our tenants. 

Maree is doing such a great job that we have increased her role to 30 hrs a week! 

During the next couple of months we will be putting the final touches to the Tenant Manager 

job description and will start to recruit someone to fill this role which will “complete” our 

Housing Team. 

Then we will look at moving our Team from our individual offices to one combined area at 

the Gladstone Centre so we can work closer, together and achieve the best possible 

lifestyle and housing outcomes for members of our community. 

Stay tuned for more updates about the growing Gladstone Housing Team!

REMEMBER THIS... 

MINING INDUSTRY 

HELPS OUT 

Recently the Foster, Kinship & 

Specialist Care program in Biloela 

received a sponsorship for $500.00 

from Anglo American Metallurgical Coal 

Callide Mine and $250 from Anglo 

American Metallurgical Coal Dawson 

Mine. The F & K Team would like to 

thank both Callide Management and 

Dawson Management for providing us 

with these funds which will go towards 

purchasing a range of gift vouchers to 

thank our Foster Carers for their 

continued dedication and to celebrate 

their many silent achievements e.g. 

dinner or movie vouchers, contribution 

towards costs for a weekend away etc. 

It is anticipated that this token of 

appreciation will assist the program 

retain these carers and consequently, 

the number of quality placements 

available to children and young people 

will be maintained. Further, it is hoped 

that by demonstrating support for our 

local carers, more families will apply to 

become foster carers, as this role is 

crucial in ensuring that children and 

young people can remain in their own 

community. 

RESIDENTIAL 

PROGRAM 

FOUND A HOUSE 

As many of you are aware, the rental 

crisis in Gladstone has not been 

working in the favour of the 

Residential Program, with soaring 

rent, lack of suitable properties and 

battling to even get an application 

considered over the industry giants, at 

last we have finally done it! 

After several months of viewing, 

applying for and being declined on 

houses (47 in total) I am pleased, no I 

am ecstatic, to announce that the 

Residential Program now has a new 

residence for the young people from 

Church House to move into. 

The move began on Monday last week 

and three very excited young people 

have now moved in and settled into 

their new place. The big job is now 

ahead of the program to clean and 

repair the Church House in 

preparation for the old house to be 

handed back to the Anglican Church 

by the end of June. 

Builders and handymen have been 

organised, staff have been scheduled 

cleaning work and glaziers have been 

commissioned to get the Church 

House back to pristine condition. It is 

now full steam head for all involved! 

Huge thanks have to go to all the 

Residential program staff and senior 

workers for their efforts in the move so 

far. Keep up the good work team! 

Thank you to Kate Staff for submitting 

the 2011 Sponsorship Application 

Forms.

SCHIZOPHRENIA AWARENESS 

WEEK 

The big event for the Gladstone Healthy Minds Team this month has been 

participating in Schizophrenia Awareness Week 15th -21st May Collaboration 

between Government and Non-Government Organisations saw us working 

together to inform our community of this much misunderstood mental illness and 

reduce the stigma felt by those who suffer from it. 

Our display stand in Kin Kora Mall handed out many balloons and a variety of 

information to shoppers. We attended a Working To Recovery Workshop on the 

18th with International Speaker Ron Coleman who inspired us all with his own 

recovery journey. 

The week finished with a BBQ at Anzac Park hosted by our local drop in centre 

„The Haven‟, our part was to bring the sweets which were generously donated by 

our local Coles store. Our local Member of Parliament Liz Cunningham paid a visit 

bearing chocolates that were enjoyed by all. A great week of Community 

Education and a month of networking and planning within our Gladstone 

community. 

A Mystery Bus tour was enjoyed this month by the members of our social support 

group Freedom and Friendship, participants worked in pairs answering questions 

as we visited various locations around our city, stopping for a lovely Devonshire 

Tea at the Botanical Gardens and then back to base for prizes. Much fun and 

laughter was had by us all.

WHY AM I ALWAYS TIRED 

Everyone has days when they can‟t seem to get motivated, but many arrive at work tired and 

stay tired for more than a few days a month- Why is this 

The most common cause of daytime tiredness is just what you would expect- not enough sleep 

at night. Experts believe that we are a nation of people who don‟t know how to sleep. If you 

frequently find yourself irritable, not being able to cope with simple tasks, on the verge of 

nodding off at work or you do actually nod off, you probably need more sleep. 

Most people need to sleep seven to eight hours each night, needs vary, and you may be one 

who need more like nine or more hours per night. If you know you need more sleep but suffer 

from insomnia- often caused by our busy working life and not being able to switch off at the 

end of the day because you know you have so much to do the next day, try some of these 

insomnia fighting tips: 

Tips for Sleeping 

Go to bed at the same time each night, and get up at the same time each morning, 

whether you slept well or not. 

Avoid alcohol, caffeine and stimulants, especially after 4.00pm. Try a hot milk or herb 

tea at bedtime instead. 

Get plenty of exercise to relax you physically, but don‟t exercise within an hour of 

bedtime. 

Instead of reading or watching TV in bed, get up and do something until you feel 

sleepy. 

Avoid daytime naps. 

Except for short term problems, avoid sleeping medication as they can be habit 

forming. 

If stress is keeping you awake, research and try stress reduction programs. You may 

be able to approach our Employee Assistance Provider for more information on the 

services available in our area. 

In most cases, fatigue can be cured by getting plenty of sleep, regular exercise, and 

nutritious food, by taking care of yourself emotionally: dealing with stress, depression or 

unresolved problems. If you have done all of these things and are still finding that you are 

continually tired, see you doctor for a thorough check up.

WESTERN REGION 

NETWORK MEETINGS ARE ON THE AGENDA 

We all have a very busy month ahead here in the west with 

many events taking place throughout our district during June. 

On June 1 st and 2 nd , Housing Staff will travel to Barcaldine to 

attend the Central West Housing and Homelessness Area 

Network Meeting hosted by the Department of Communities – 

Business Development and Innovation Unit. The meeting will be 

a great opportunity for staff to network with other housing 

services, department representatives and other organisations. 

The meetings are always well attended and are an excellent 

opportunity. 

A number of Housing staff will also travel to Rockhampton in 

early June to attend the first block training session for the 

Certificate IV in Social Housing which is being conducted 

through the Queensland Community Housing Coalition (QCHC). 

Over the next 6 months, participants will cover all aspects of 

working in the social housing sector and providing effective 

management of tenancies and properties. This training has been 

made possible through the Productivity Placements Program 

(PPP) funding and we are very thankful to both Anglicare Central 

Queensland and the QCHC for making such an opportunity 

available to our staff. 

In the last week of May, Joyce Berwick attended H.E.A.R.T 

Training in Townsville on behalf of the Emergency Relief 

program. H.E.A.R.T is very beneficial for support workers and 

provides insight and understanding of how clients fall into their 

habits and circumstances that result in them needing to 

access Emergency Relief services. 

The training outlines how education, living circumstances and 

brain function can affect a person‟s ability to create change 

and improvement in their lives and addresses ways to 

encourage change in clients to enable a better quality of life. 

H.E.A.R.T also equips Support Workers with the skills to apply 

suitable Emergency Relief options that will best assist the 

individual client relevant to their needs.

RURAL AND 

ISOLATED 

ACCOMMO- 

DATION 

SERVICE 

RIAS TRAINING 

In Mid June, Rural and 

Isolated Accommodation 

Service workers will attend 

SMART Training in 

Rockhampton. The Specialist 

Homelessness Support 

Programs training will be an 

ideal event for workers to 

outline the new changes which 

have been recently 

implemented to the RIAS 

program delivery and reporting 

requirements. 

Hi Everyone, 

I am back at work after having a month of and visiting 

my youngest daughter in Melbourne who just 

happened to have her first little baby daughter born 

on my 50 th birthday - how awesome is that! Was very 

special and of course she is a darling and we all say 

that but what baby isn‟t hey. Her name is Bri-anne 

May born on the 30 th of March. 

A big thankyou to Joyce for looking after my houses 

and taking care of ER for me whilst I was away. 

Ok well now back into it again… Longreach RIAS has 

been pretty busy last few months with all our crisis 

houses being occupied and more clients still inquiring 

for housing. It has been harder this time round for 

transfers of clients from crisis housing, as there have 

been no vacancies into CRS housing or department 

housing. A few clients have been lucky and are taking 

the opportunity to be moving into private rental while 

they can as this is also becoming pretty scarce and 

fairly expensive. 

Emergency relief has also been fairly busy with new 

and existing clients accessing our services. I have 

training coming up in Rockhampton in June which is 

to replace Data collected from (Smart) SAAP which 

now captures information from our clients and what 

services we provide for them to the new collection 

data coming into place in a couple of months from 

Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS.) 

Apart from this I am on a waiting game as my partner 

has already moved to Rockhampton for work whilst I 

remain here for a couple more months hoping our 

house will sell. Once this happens I will join him on 

our place in Gracemere. 

Take care, 

Venetta Hoch

WESTER REGION 

EMERALD 

NATIONAL YOUTH WEEK 2011 

National Youth Week was held 1 st to 9 th 

of April to celebrate young people age 12 

to 25. In the Central Highlands there 

were many free events held such as 

Blackwater :Movie Marathon, Capella 

:Arts Council performance and Breakfast 

Clubs in High Schools with the Main 

event the „Y-Carnival‟ an Alcohol and 

Drug free event held at the Emerald 

Skate Park on Saturday 9 th of April. 

There were free buses from Capella, 

Teiri, Blackwater and Springsure which 

brought other young people from the 

region to celebrate National Youth Week. 

The Y-Carnival commenced at 3pm with 

free rides, lots of youth engaging stalls 

from community organisations and an 

interactive youth forum was also 

conducted to find out the needs for 

young people in the region. 

The Y-Carnival hosted many events such 

as Mini-Cook which is similar to the 

popular channel 10 show Master Chief in 

which we had 3 local judges a local 

Kitchen business owner, a Chef and 

Woolworths Manager who had the hard 

task to judge 2 different cook offs to 

become this year Mini Cook and won 

prizes worth $100. 

The Y-Factor is similar to popular 

channel 7 show X-Factor in which and 

young person with any talent can 

showcase 

them and 3 Local judges decided on who 

has the Y-Factor. The three judges were 

NRL Legend Stephen Bell, Hot FM Radio 

Manager and Local LGBT Police Officer 

who had the tough task of finding the inner 

in which was young person from 

Springsure who wrote, sang and played 

guitar and won Prize worth $150 

Skate Display had many gasping their 

breath as local young people use scooters, 

BMX and skate boards to entertain the 

crowd with jumps, 180 turns and even back 

flips. 

The Mob Dance with collaboration from 

young people over the Central Highlands 

Region had the crowd rubbing their heads 

when they preformed. Mob Dance is a 

craze on the popular You Tube Website in 

which a group of people with music just 

start dancing in a public place. The 

Emerald State High School created the 

performance and the Youth Development 

Officer‟s taught young people over the 

region so that this performance would one 

to remember. This will be uploaded on to 

the Youth Tube Channel in the near future. 

Anglicare Momentum Youth Leaders and 

the All Abilities Program were involved in 

the Y-Carnival by running many youth 

games and activities with lots of young 

people joining in through out the day. 

The Y-Carnival finished at 8pm with young 

people having a fun afternoon of fun, 

interactive games, access to youth 

information in our region and also to be 

involved in the Youth Forum. It was a 

fantastic week which had over 1000 

community members come to help 

Celebrate National Youth Week in the 

Central Highlands Region to recognise how 

valued young people are in our community.

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK 

UNDER 8‟S 

CELEBRATIONS 

UNDER 8’S DAY 

If you came down to the park today 

You were in for a big surprise! 

If you went down to the park today, 

We hope you went in disguise, 

For every child that ever there was, 

Was gathered there for certain, 

because 

Today’s the day that we celebrate 

Under 8’s Day! 

The Emerald Under 8‟s Day, 

“Barefoot In The Park” was a huge 

success! Children and their 

parents came along for two hours 

of fun, laughter and friendship, as 

we celebrated the joys of early 

childhood. 

Emerald‟s Early Childhood 

Educators worked together to 

organise fun events for children 

and their parents, including 

dancing, painting, musical 

instruments, face painting, 

parachute games, sand and water 

play, obstacle courses, threading 

and collage. We were all very 

excited to have visits from the 

Police, Ambulance and Fire 

Brigade as well – their sirens were 

very loud and impressive! 

Central Highlands Family Day 

Care was well represented, with 

Meagan, Kay & Amber offering 

pasta threading and collage – as 

you can see, both activities were a 

huge hit! Our Care Providers 

were also in attendance, with all 

children and carers saying that 

they had a marvellous time.

DEVELOPING PARTNERSHIPS 

Susan Thornhill, our Regional Manager, was also away 

during the last week of May. She attended the 

Queensland Affordable Housing Consortium meeting in 

Brisbane as part of the National Rental Affordability 

Scheme (NRAS). 

The mission of the Queensland Affordable Housing 

Consortium is to meet the need for affordable housing by 

bringing together developers, investors and property 

managers to deliver new rental housing under the 

Commonwealth‟s National Rental Affordability Scheme. 

The Government has established 10 year Tax Incentives 

through the NRAS Scheme to support the delivery of 

50,000 new rental homes which will be well located, meet 

local demands and market standards and are affordable 

and attractive to both tenants and investors. 

WINTON CONTINUES TO PROVIDE LIMITED SERVICES 

The Winton Office is open and operating on limited hours as Carol is still away on sick 

leave. Kylie Britton is filling in from 9.30 and 11.30am daily (where possible), however, 

anyone needing to contact the Winton Office outside these hours is asked to direct 

their enquiries to the Longreach Office. We would like to wish Carol a safe recovery 

and look forward to seeing her at work again soon. 

CHILD SAFETY AND 

COURT MATTERS 

On the 26 th of May, Megan and 

Amy attended the Child Safety 

Court Process Training in 

Longreach. The trained was 

hosted by Child Safety Emerald 

and educated the participants on 

Legislative Framework 

surrounding child safety and 

court matters, affidavit writing 

and principals for good affidavit 

writing and how to be a witness.

This month in the Emerald Office we 

have very busy with lots of exciting 

events going on. 

EMERALD 

First the Emerald Office has been very 

lucky in having two new staff members 

join the team, Kay Guascoine is our new 

Family Day Care Coordinator and 

Wendee McLean our Temp 

Administration Officer. 

For the month of May our programs have 

been very busy, The Central Highlands 

Family Day Care Scheme attend the 

under 8‟s day, Our YSC attend school 

camps and the healthy mind program 

held there first social group in the 

Gemfields. The RIAS Program had 

exciting news that they are receiving new 

properties to help that effect from the 

floods. 

We had three major achievements this 

month for the Emerald Office. 

A big pat on the back goes to Pam White 

for her amazing effects at Y Carnival and 

all the hard work that went into Youth 

Week 

Congratulations to Hayley Gardner for 

successfully completing her abseiling 

course and also for holding the 2 nd 

Momentum Youth Camp well done 

Hayley.

EMERALD 

KEEPING THE MOMENTUM 

GOING 

Well it was that time again for the 

Momentum Youth Camp and what better a 

way to connect and clear your head then 

with a weekend filled with fun and adventure 

at Camp Fairbairn Dam. With a massive 

build up to the camp with a youth leadership 

day and also national youth week we were 

all ready for the next camp. The camp hit off 

at 5pm pm Friday the 13 th of May with a 

game of touch football and some cricket. 

Attending the camp we had 13 young people 

from around the central highlands in years 

10 - 12. 

The first night was a hit with a massive camp 

fire along with some rather interesting 

stories that had some campers on the edge 

of the seat. This was a great night that was 

able to being all campers together and to 

start building new friendships. 

27


EMERALD 

MOMENTUM YOUTH CAMP 2011 

The next day was a day full of outdoor adventures with the high ropes and the flying fox 

which pushed some of the campers to face their fear of heights. Participants were pushed 

to their limits but were able to set their own goals and achieve them. One participant said 

“It was a challenge but was the best feeling to achieve the goal that I set”. There was a lot 

of laughter with participants doing the splits, swinging upside down and some great facial 

expressions. The participants all worked well together, learnt to trust each other and 

learnt communication skills. 

That afternoon they took on some team building exercises from the pipe line to the spider 

web which was a great time for these young people to build on their skills. Night time 

came and so did the stories around the camp fire which added some entertainment for 

all. After watching a movie it was off to bed or so we thought so…….sleep at this stage 

soon become something that we had forgotten about. 

The last day arrived and it was time to do some cleaning and packing up which all 

campers helped with. Once done the day was filled with presenters from around the 

Highlands. Presentations from Department of Communities – Child Safety, Lifeline Coral 

Coast, Domestic Violence Service of Central Queensland, MRAEL, Get Set for Work, 

Central Queensland Rural Division of General Practice, Central Highlands Regional 

Council and the Queensland Police Service. 

These presentations helped young people to be able to gain skills that they would be able 

to use within their lives, employment, home and school. These skills help the young 

person to be empowered, engaged and encouraged. “I have new skills and a better 

understanding of what a healthy relationship looks like now and also a great 

understanding of different types of violence” said a participant. 

To finish off the weekend we had a presentations afternoon with presentations made to 

all participants and mentors finishing with a slideshow of the weekend. This was a great 

camp had by all participants and mentors. The next camp is on the 22 nd – 24 th July which 

is targeting years 8 – 12‟s. 

28


EMERALD 

Below are some reflections from 

some staff that attended the 

Momentum Youth Camp as 

mentors. 

“It is always wonderful to see the 

young people having fun at the 

camp, making new friends from 

other schools and stepping out of 

their comfort zone in the adventurebased 

activities. In the second 

camp, I appreciated very much for 

their effort in cleaning up the cabin, 

kitchen, toilet and entertainment 

room. I look forward to the next 

camp coming” – Roland Chan 

“It was great to see all the young 

people coming together and 

connecting with each other and 

building new friendships. Being able 

to support them to be able to set 

their goals and to achieve them 

while, pushing through some of their 

fears and also gaining new skills that 

will help them throughout their lives. 

Receiving phone calls the next week 

from parents thanking Anglicare for 

the camp and the difference we are 

making, adds to the reason these 

camps are being provided” – Hayley 

Gardner 

“As this was my first Momentum 

Camp it was a positive and fun 

experience. I was able to see young 

people from around the Central 

Highlands that may not have 

connected otherwise to come 

together to overcome challenges 

and new experiences in a supported 

environment. I was able to see 

young people from when they first 

arrived to when they left making new 

friendships and accomplishing goals. 

The guest speakers also gave 

opportunities for young people to 

reflect on personal experiences in 

their lives in a supportive 

environment and make links with 

other community workers. I look 

forward in being involved in the next 

camp” – Pamela White

CAPRICORN REGION 

Hello from 

Capricorn 

Can you believe we 

are already five 

months into this 

year Typically in 

our region there has 

been a great deal 

happening to update 

you on - so here‟s a 

snap shot for this 

month……….. 

WINNABURRA & 

THE OFFENDER 

REINTEGRATION 

PROGRAM 

The Teams in Winna 

Burra & the Offender 

Reintegration 

Support 

Programs 

have also been busy 

as they endeavour 

to provide our clients 

with services to best 

meet their needs. 

Foster, Kinship and 

Specialist Care Programs 

Rockhampton Foster, Kinship and Specialist Care 

Programs have been celebrating more birthdays this 

month with Kathy having a significant birthday and like 

Wendy last month, came in to see her office had been 

transformed into a birthday wonderland. 

Congratulations to Irmi on completing her Diploma of 

Child, Youth and Family Intervention. We are very proud 

of Irmi. Irmi came into the program about five years ago 

with limited theory of human services but plenty of 

compassion for children, young people and families with 

added personal knowledge of the Foster Care system 

having been a carer for many years previously. Irmi has 

used that compassion to drive her to learn and 

understand the complexities of this work. As English is 

her second language Irmi had this additional challenge 

to overcome, however has managed to do this as well. 

For all the long hours and hair pulling and remembering 

to „breathe‟, Irmi has done it. Well Done Irmi. Irmi is off 

on a very well deserved holiday to Switzerland next 

week so have a wonderful time our friend but remember 

to come back. 

For the rest of the team, we will continue to prepare for 

our final audit later in the month of June. This will give us 

the opportunity to refine our knowledge, skills and 

documentation of Specialist Care processes and Incident 

reporting. The team‟s commitment and positive approach 

to this process has been evident. We wish them all the 

best for their upcoming audit.

DARREN JOINS COMMUNITY 

HOUSING 

Darren Mann commenced his position 

as Community Housing Officer with 

the Community Housing team on the 

23 rd May. He brings with him 

wonderful experience in supporting 

and connecting with those 

experiencing homelessness. Darren‟s 

previous position as an outreach 

worker saw him working closely with 

homeless people within the local 

community. He also maintains links 

with other organisations and the 

general community that will be a benefit to Anglicare. Please join with us in welcoming 

Darren to the Community Housing Team. 

The Community Housing Team continues to manage the additional 23 properties that 

were handed over in April, which made a total of 213 properties that the team manage. 

There are another 18 properties that are expected to come on line over the next couple 

of weeks making a total of 231. Training is on the agenda with staff members attending 

Therapeutic Crisis Intervention Training and up skilling in Console software 

applications. 

Console Consultant Aaron conducted the training which was driven by the requirements 

of the team member‟s roles, record keeping, systems and reporting needs. Andy has 

applied to do the Certificate IV in Social Housing. 

MEMORABLE MOMENTS 

There have been some celebrations within the program for young people 

celebrating birthdays! Staff supported them with family and friends, one at 

the Rock Pool and another at Victoria Park 

Two young people have also begun interschool sports with staff going 

along to help support and barrack for the teams. A great achievement for 

one, when he kicked a goal for his team, with his team mates all 

celebrating with him. 

This proved momentous for him as the building of social skills and 

“belonging” is one of his goals. Support worker Tannia, was overwhelmed 

with pride at witnessing this memorable moment. 

The program is moving into continuous improvement and is working 

closely with Evolve to focus on Ethics in Residential Care in the coming 

months. 

31


The Domestic and Family Violence part of our program has received an enormous 

contribution from the Family Law Network which is facilitated by Sandy Paton and who 

seems to be drawing a large number of community agencies to the table through her 

tireless efforts in organising numerous events and seminars. There is no doubt that 

awareness of DFV in this region is gaining momentum through her efforts as well as 

the DV Pilot Program and Anglicare FACIT team has gained in profile as a result. 

The 123 Magic & Emotion Coaching Program is designed to provide parents with the 

skills to help them in their parenting role. Parents will learn key ideas about children‟s 

abilities, the common problems that parents face, and some ways to help them make 

parenting as enjoyable as possible. 1-2-3 Magic focuses on that parenting should be 

as easy as possible, while being beneficial to the children. 

The program covers areas such as: 

Different approaches to parenting 

Children can become overwhelmed by too much talk and too much emotion 

Sorting behaviour 

Appreciating patterns, changing patterns and resistance 

Remaining flexible as a parent 

Choices and strengthening your relationship 

Parents are able to learn skills that help them step back a bit from what their children 

are doing and think...what are they feeling here Then they are able to approach the 

issue from a different angle than what they would have previously come from. Asking 

these simple questions can then have your child stop and think about their emotions, 

actions and feelings which will then open up a conversation where they can talk about 

it. It‟s simple and easy steps like these that make the program enjoyable and 

beneficial. Being aware of your children‟s feelings, listening with empathy and helping 

your child label their feelings are easily explained in the emotion coaching component. 

This is only one of the components to the training. 

This is the first time that Anglicare has been able to provide this well received training 

and the registration numbers have been excellent. Parents are becoming more 

proactive in reaching out to the training that is available for them in the community. 

Simple parenting tips and training will enable them to build better relationships with 

their children, while focusing on their own parenting styles and the needs of their 

children. 

32

HELPING PARENTS 

The TOP Parenting program has started 

again for this semester and has now 

been in continual mode for the last four 

years in which we provide four programs 

a year. Other group presentations were 

at the Red Cross centre for “Grief and 

Loss” and at the Capricornia Correction 

Centre “Transitions Program: Change in 

Relationships” facilitated in conjunction 

with Lifeline. The team has also 

managed to keep up with intake of 

referrals, and keep waiting lists to a 

minimum. 

Four staff members have continued their 

professional development training in 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy 

(ACT) by completing their second 

course recently in Brisbane. Therapy 

tools include relaxation, mindfulness and 

awareness skills in working with clients. 

Additional training for this month was 

“Understanding Eating Disorders” in 

Rockhampton, and also at CQU 

“Women Seeking Safety” DFV Video 

Conference on 29 th April.

Family Supported Accommodation 

Service 

FSAS has been a very busy program over the last month and has assisted many 

families in need with their rent, electricity and emergency housing needs. We also 

received a card of appreciation from a family who we assisted last month, that 

wrote; 

To Petra and Staff “We would not have managed to pay our electricity bill, so thank 

you very much we appreciate your help. Keep up the great work “. 

Four FSAS, crisis families have been approved for Community Housing, Anglicare 

and the Department of Communities – Housing for long term accommodation and 

we are very appreciative of the support from the department and community 

housing. The support workers have been working around the clock to assist these 

large families of 5 to 6 children gain permanent accommodation in the local area. 

Ali and Petra will be running the Do‟s and Don‟ts of Renting in QLD workshop 

during the month of June and are working towards running the program with other 

agencies. 

Sharon attended a Specialist Homelessness Service (SHS) meeting in Brisbane as 

the local representative and has arranged a local meeting for all SHS funded 

agencies to attend at the end of May. All information Sharon gathered from the 

meeting about new STATS collection and support work will be discussed at the 

meeting. 

Mae has successfully completed a certificate 4 in community services work and 

Petra has successfully completed a diploma in Community Services Work. 

Congratulations to them both and the hard work has finally paid off! 

FSAS staff would like to thank our very enthusiastic volunteer, Tarryn for her hard 

work and dedication to the program when we have needed her! Thanks Tarryn. 

34


Administration 

The administration team is busy as usual supporting all regional programs and a 

welcoming face to visitors and clients in our reception area. We also said goodbye to 

Vera Elkin who provided administration support to the Foster Kinship and Specialist 

Care and Life/Residential team over the last 2 ½ years. 

Recruitment has commenced to fill this role. Our newest recruit to our administration 

reception team Rachelle Carvosso was overwhelmed with the support from our 

region when she participated in the Cancer Fundraiser Relay for Life. Rachelle was 

delighted to have been able to raise $350.00 through sponsorship, as well as the 

fact that she had survived the 18 hour walk in the freezing cold with very few breaks. 

What a great commitment to a very worthy cause, well done Rachelle. 

Capricorn Leadership Team 

The CLT met in May with the 

focus on addressing the 

outcomes of the staff surveys and 

gaining a connection with our 

values. There will be many areas 

that will benefit from discussions 

and planning that will steam from 

this planning meeting. 

Collectively, Capricorn Teams 

have continued with their ongoing 

commitment to clients while 

supporting one another and have 

worked solidly this month to do 

just that. 

35

FINANCIALLY SPEAKING 

Summary of Financial Report 

At the end of April 2011 Anglicare Central Queensland Limited is performing at a surplus of $1,071,126 

in comparison to budgeted surplus of $107,448. This is a result of the following: 

1. Actual revenue is 4% above budget being $502,334. 

2. Actual Expenses is below budget by 4% being $461,345. 

The total cash on hand and bank as at 30 th April 2011 is $3,630,892 

Trade Debtors as at 30 th April 2011 is $276,002 

Trade Creditors as at 30 th April 2011 is $162,149 

Total Equity as at 30 th April 2011 is $3,797,802 which is made up of tied and untied equity as follows: 

- Tied Equity: $3,084,923 

- Untied Equity: $712,879 (This includes an Asset Reserve of $259,457) 

The under expenditure is -4.38% in comparison to the KPI of -8.33%. Due to prior year surpluses there 

is an expectation that this would be a positive percentage. The key message is to continue to expend 

the funds prior to the end of June 2011 in areas that will create value for the program. 

END OF FINANCIAL YEAR REMINDER: 

End of Financial year is fast approaching and I would 

like us to be conscious of a few matters leading up to 

the end of year. 

(a) Ensure all requests for invoices have been 

forwarded to finance by mid June at the latest. 

You will see attached a letter from Department of 

Communities requesting this. 

(b) Have your purchase orders in the system. 

(c) Have all orders receipted where the goods have 

been received or services carried out. This will 

ensure we maximize the expenditure this 

financial year and reduce the carried forward 

program balance. 

(d) Ensure all invoices that are sent to your regional 

office are forwarded to finance promptly. 

(e) Asset Audit needs to be completed by the end of 

May 2011. 

(f) Reconciliation of Housing Debtor. For all housing 

programs I need you to forward me via email the 

debtor balance as at 30 June 2011. I need this 

balance by 8 th July 2011.

THE SECTOR IS SPEAKING 

FAMILIES IN REGIONAL, RURAL 

AND REMOTE AUSTRALIA 

Australia is one of the most urbanised countries in the 

world, with over two-thirds (69%) of the population 

living in major cities. It also has one of the lowest 

population densities outside of its major cities. Despite 

the vastness of Australia and the profound impact that 

this has on the lives of the peoples living in rural and 

remote areas, relatively little is known about families 

living in these areas of Australia compared to those 

living in major cities. 

This Facts Sheet describes how the characteristics of 

families differ between the "city" and the "country" or 

"bush". While words such as these are used in 

everyday parlance, it is very difficult to identify exactly 

where the city ends and the country begins. One way 

of categorising regions is in terms of the road distance 

from services, and this is the standard method to 

define remoteness for statistical purposes in Australia. 

Most of the information in this Facts Sheet is provided 

for: major cities, and inner regional, outer regional, 

remote, and very remote regions

BREAKING CYCLES OF DISADVANTAGE 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

This report presents the results of research conducted by the Australian Social 

Inclusion Board (the Board) into how people manage to break cycles of 

disadvantage. The research was conducted from March to November 2010 

in order to provide advice to the Australian Government about policy options to 

address cycles of disadvantage. 

The report presents findings from public submissions, stakeholder consultation 

workshops, desktop research and original qualitative research undertaken for 

the Board by TNS Social Research. This qualitative research included in-depth 

interviews with 56 people from disadvantaged backgrounds in order to 

understand the factors that led to multiple disadvantage over an extended 

period and those that assisted people to break out of a cycle of disadvantage.
