The Community Services Excellence Awards recognise best practice in the community sector and the important role organisations can play in making a positive difference through innovative and creative services.
Austral developed a training program in home and community care for remote Indigenous communities, to assist them in looking after ageing members of their population. In developing this program, Austral HR visited a number of remote communities to trial modules. The program was the first of its kind in Australia.
