EXCELLENCE A FOCUS FOR 2020 VISION

FROM THE CEO

Services (NDS) accommodation and

workforce subcommittees and the

involvement in the positive behaviour

support study with the office of the

practitioner. The study was undertaken

by our highly skilled clinical team who

are also rolling out our Support

Coordination and Specialist Support

Coordination business model. We have

been involved in the launch of

workshops for the

Quality and

Safeguarding

Commission set to roll

out in South Australia

from July 1, 2018. We

are working to ensure

all our systems and

processes comply with

the Commission

requirements. The

commission will be

responsible for

overseeing:

registration and

regulation, quality

audit processes, national worker

screening, complaints, critical

incidents, the new worker code of

conduct and orientation processes,

positive behaviour support and

restrictive practices.

We have dedicated considerable

time to undertake the Supported

Independent Living (SIL) quoting

process for our group homes, and am

pleased to announce we that we have

now submitted 66 SIL quotes with 6 SIL

Welcome to the CLO winter

newsletter. June brings to a close our

16-18 strategic planning phase. We are

pleased to report that we have

achieved nearly 90% of our

organisational objectives against our

strategic plan, Business safety plan,

Disability Action and Inclusion plan and

the NDIS action plan. I thank all our

stakeholders for their investment in

CLO and our outcomes

over the past 2 years.

Our teams this year

have invested heavily in

the NDIS transition and

all the work this brings to

support fully our clients,

families and staff

through the transition.

The sector recently

announced a delay in the

South Australian roll out

to December 2018, this

means that the state will

roll over host funding

arrangements while the

transition continues. We continue to

invest heavily in initiatives and

information that supports everyone

through this unprecedented change.

This includes: continued coffee

mornings and drop in sessions, staff

question and answer forums, email

notifications and NDIS customer

Services training. To support best

outcomes for our clients and families

we continue to be involved in our

sector through the National disability

we are poised to

deliver

excellence and

demonstrate

quality

outcomes as we

transition into

NDIS

C L O C O N N E C T | 3

plans approved to date and four new

24/7 service development

opportunities in the last period.

SIL (Supported independent living)

is the new nationally consistent

framework for costing and pricing

group homes. The operations and

business team monitor via our

NDIS/SIL working group the

preparation of the SIL pack

documents: the outcomes

template, participant profile, the

property profile, the roster of

care and the hourly breakdown

template. Ensuring quality and

efficiencies in the completion of

the SIL will maximise plan

amounts for participants.

Outcomes reporting is an

essential requirement under the

NDIS reporting framework. CLO have

robust systems for tracking goals and

outcomes.

An area of concern moving into

the NDIA model and tabled within

the sector has been crisis and

emergency support systems. We are

pleased to announce that we have

supported the new NDIA crisis and

emergency system by agreeing to be

one of the contracted SA providers to

provide emergency and crisis

support. We are now building

capacity to ensure responsiveness to

this system in SA.

July will bring our new strategic

planning phase and I thank everyone

for their participation in our analyses

that underpin our strategic direction

and objectives for 2018-2020. This

included all teams participating in a

SWOT analysis, a family survey, the

CLO culture survey and consumer

standards and choice and control

questionnaires. We continue to

believe in our Vision for providing

‘great opportunities and a great life’

and now enter a new strategic

direction ‘Delivering Excellence’

with our excellent results in the

ASES accreditation at both

certificate and award level and

the implementation of new

positions in our clinical team and

the Quality/WHS and RTW role

we are poised to deliver

excellence and demonstrate

quality outcomes as we

transition into NDIS. It is with

pleasure that we now deliver our

new strategic plan that extends

our key result areas to include

‘Leadership’ and ‘People and

Culture’, it is through our leadership

and our staff that we will continue to

deliver excellence and achieve our

goals and vision.

CLO advertisements have recently appeared on billboards and bus shelters around town much to the delight of the star models Andrew and Danielle.

This is all part of a strategy to make sure as many people as possible have access to CLO’s support so they too can have great opportunities and a great life!

We thank both Danielle and Andrew for being a part of this campaign and putting their faces out there in such a public way.

Word of mouth is also priceless so if you think someone could benefit from what we do at CLO, let them know to be in touch with us on (08) 7221 9550 or through clo.org.au.

MEET DANIELLE Featured with Andrew on

Support Worker Danielle...

What was the last thing you heard or saw which made

you laugh out loud?

Watching the 'What the Fluff challenge'. It's a challenge

people are doing with their dogs where they hold up a

blanket in front of their dog, then they drop the blanket

and run away to make it look like they've disappeared,

then the dogs react. Some get heaps confused, others run

to find their owners, some do nothing, hahahaha!

YouTube it and try it with your adopted fur baby!

If you could be on any TV game show, which would it be?

Oh no! I don't watch TV game shows. I have been

watching Queer Eye on Netflix though! It's a series where

five men called the 'Fab Five' come in to someone's life

and give the person a lifestyle makeover. One specialises

in food, one in interior design, one in fashion design and

another in culture / mentoring. I would be keen to go on

this show because anyone who knows me knows I'm a

serial hat wearer and I'm totally stuck in some sk8r boi

clothing era, hahaha! The interior decorating and

everything else they offer would be a bonus too.

What’s the number 1 piece of advice you would give

others about life?

Laugh tremendous amounts.

What is the most rewarding thing about working in your

role?

As I have been working for CLO for nearly 11 years now, I

have been able to watch a lot of the people I support

develop over time and what I find rewarding is knowing

I'm a small cog in the machine of that development. From

people overcoming fears and trying new things to getting

better at certain day to day tasks, the list goes on. This

includes CLO's evolution as a successful organisation too.

What does ‘person-centred’ mean to you?

To me, 'Person-centred' means the person receiving

support is at the centre of the decisions that relate to their

life..

What are you most excited about in your role at CLO?

What mostly excites me about my role at CLO is engaging

the people I support to be included in all the day to day

activities of their life and seeing how that positively

impacts them. I also get excited about supporting people

to community events and family meet ups as they're

always full of happiness and joy.

TAKING CLO TO THE STREETS

C L O C O N N E C T | 5

2018 has been an exciting year for

the Green Team as we continue to

push forward with initiatives.

We have now partnered with the

South Australian Governments,

'Energ Partners rogram' and you will

start to see information and

publications on ways to help us

reduce our energy usage. We have

also purchased a Home Energy

Audit Kit, which will allow every

person we support to be able to

measure their energy hotspots and

target specific reductions based on

their personal use and homes. More

info on the energy audits to come.

This year, CLO has also partnered

with the NRM Levy and Be Smart inc

to bring an exciting initiative to our

Victor Harbor office; the 'Living

Smart; course. Shannan is a trained

facilitator of the Living Smart course

and with the help of support

worker and Green Team member,

Sharon Dredge, is running a free 5

week course about environmental

sustainability. Over the 5 weeks,

course participants will learn how to

save money and help protect the

planet, in a fun and interactive

atmosphere. We have just

completed week 3 and look forward

to the next 2 weeks. So far we have

learned about many topics and

made many take home items.

Look out for the '2018 Upcycle

Competition' information in the

next few months!

For more information, please

contact Shannan at

The Narnu Farm experience was both exciting and a challenge for me as I am new to the disability industry, getting to know some of the clients and other support staff and how we all worked together to problem solve and support the clients was an awesome opportunity and one I will not forget.

The camp itself was great the activities were easy accessible for the clients with a range of activities including- horse riding, horse shoe making demonstration. Flour and butter making, ploughing, the most memorable of all the activities I would have to say was the old truck ride to feed the horses, im quite sure the clients loved this as well, not sure by the expressions on their faces or the pictures I think the laughter coming from the back of the truck said it all.

In my view l would have say it was a very successful camp and I think

the clients enjoyed themselves, I know one client from Modra who

went loved it and talks about wanting to go back regularly.

NARNU CAMP 2018

We stayed at Nurnu farm camp from Wednesday

and came back Friday. We did a lot of things at

camp we watched the lady make a horse shoe, then

we made butter and flour by turning a handle on

a thing.

We ate the butter for tea with some bread across the

road at the girl's camp.

We went on a truck ride and it was bumpy and a

little scary, we fed the horses a lot of carrots form

the truck.

It was cold there but we had a wood fire and a

heater.

I liked the camp best for feeding the animals,

holding baby chickens, feeding the goats milk,

making flour, truck rides, and the roast tea we

had.

I would like to go back to Narnu Farm one day.

CONGRATULATIONS to all our Person Centred Support Workers across the regions for their achievements in our Reward & Recognition program! Over the past few months, we have had many TEAMS nominated, which is reflective of our fantastic team work across the organisation and in ensuring we all work as one Team CLO.

METRO

Metro’s Talinga Site did a fantastic job supporting someone to transition into the community and to develop a structured routine and received special recognition from stakeholders at a recent case conference. Well done to Peta Jones, Cazz Priest, Angeleen Ralph and Teigan Howl for this excellent achievement.

Metro’s Wilcox Team members displayed a fabulous person centred approach at the Site and specifically in the support of Shantel up until she passed away. The team put forward ideas to support development that was individualised to Shantel and advocated for her best interests. Well done to Cheryl Hubbard, John Vardas, Andy Fallon, Alan Westbrook, Bryce Harrison, Luke Thyer, Dom White, David Ayika, Sally Corbett, Lucy Faustino and James Adeyeye, your work is greatly appreciated!

Kirsty Kiss from Metro has done a great job in commencing as Acting Client Services Coordinator building rapport with new staff and developing staff skills and knowledge, which further supports client outcomes. Kirsty has displayed great professionalism in the workplace and with external stakeholders, creating community connectedness. Well done Kirsty!

Sam Warren from Metro has also commenced as Acting Client Services Coordinator and has displayed a fantastic person centred approach in supporting client transitions as well as maintaining a

high level of support for other sites. Sam has worked well and professionally with client families and external stakeholders; creating community connectedness and he shows a great passion for his role. This is also evident through feedback from staff, consumers and families. Well done Sam!

SOUTHERN METRO

Team Trowbridge from CLO’s Southern

Metro region have had some excellent outcomes with the person they support and have worked hard to ensure a person centred approach in all their work. These efforts have resulted in developing problem solving skills and increasing community access, including a trip to WOMAD and completing RSPCA volunteer training. Team Trowbridge received some wonderful thanks from family and have been recognised by an industry leading psychologist for their work! Well done Rachel Wren, Karmen Power, Janet Daher and Sophie Henschke.

Eyeruslem Woldemariam has shown great flexibility at CLO, supporting the Southern Metro region to achieve objectives and outcomes. Eyeruslem has a person centred approach, is passionate

and is a great advocate for the people we support. She has also supported someone to transition from 24/7 support to a tenancy model. Well done Eyeruslem!

FLEURIEU

Fleurieu region’s Sam Jeffery displayed some excellent person centred approaches in supporting individual clients to achieve goals. This included

supporting a client through the process of obtaining quotes for a cat enclosure and supporting them to purchase and set this up! Sam has also been instrumental in the achievement of goals with other clients and in reporting monthly goals and outcomes to the Coordinator – well done Sam!

Jude Bartlett from Fleurieu (Kangaroo Island) has also gone above and beyond for the people she supports, ensuring appointments and travel from KI to the mainland are smooth and effective. Jude has supported goals and maintained positive relations and communications with

families during some difficult times. Well done and thank you Jude!

Russell Hennessy was the first CLO staff member to initiate using public transport with one of the people he supports at Peterson who is unable to use the site vehicle. This initiative has increased the client’s social opportunities. Russell is pro-active in sourcing alternative community options and makes decisions confidently when supporting people with complex needs in the community. Russell has supported community and social inclusion through supporting a client to the International Day of People with Disabilities, as well as supporting trips to the SA Museum and achieving a client’s long-term goal of visiting Cleland Wildlife Park. Well done Russell!

Wow! What a great experience for both the people we support and workers who attended the Adelaide Oval for the "Showdown"!

I drove Allan & Andrew F to the Warradale train station & we got the best car park (A tip: Better normally than trying to get a park at Oaklands station). A train arrived within a minute and we were at the CBD before we knew it. We then walked over the bridge with the rest of the crowd and met the other CLO folk there. Things could not have been smoother.

We were kindly escorted to one of the media rooms. 5 of the people we support and 2 workers (7 of us including myself) had one of the media rooms up

on the 4th level all to our selves and we were brought refreshments to enjoy as well.

It was a wonderful experience (and very noisy!!!) LOL The room was full of excitement & mixed emotions as the game was a very close one. Some of the words used to describe the moment by some of our folk was "magical", "wow", "this is awesome" and more. Everyone seemed to have so much fun (though there were a few tears too when the match was finished and the Crows had lost).

I hope that we can extend a very big thank you to the Port Adelaide Football Club for kindly forwarding the tickets to us.

Thanks to Julian for sharing this photo he got when meeting Aussie rock legend Jimmy Barnes.

Well done to Robert (and Connie) who braved extreme winter conditions to see Port’s comprehensive win against the Bulldogs in round 13.

AROUND THE GROUNDS...

C L O C O N N E C T | 10

Having worked for CLO for eight

years starting in January 2010, I enjoy

being a part of making a difference in

people’s lives and assisting people to

live great lives and achieve their goals

and dreams. My experience has come

from working across all regions with

CLO in various roles working

alongside individuals and their

families. I am eager to have the

opportunity to work in the Service

Development Coordinator role

meeting many new families and

individuals, being a part of welcoming

each person to CLO.

It is exciting times during April and

May with three new services

commencing, giving CLO the

opportunity to provide supports to

people moving into their brand new

homes, as part of the Renewal SA 100

homes project. It is very empowering

to have the opportunity to move into

a brand new home fitted with smart

technology for each tenant to have

increased independence. One of our

existing clients will also have the

opportunity to move into one of

these homes. Being in a position to

support each person navigate

through this process is rewarding.

The Service Development

Coordinator role includes hosting

NDIS info sessions in our Metro,

Southern Metro and Fleurieu regions.

These are information sessions for

people in the community as well as

our own service users to give the

opportunity to have information in

readiness for preparing for the

transition to NDIS. Changes do come

with challenges, the info sessions are

a great place to gather have your

questions answered and meet others

also navigating through change. Our

coffee morning information session

dates are on our Facebook page.

answered

C L O C O N N E C T | 11

What was the last thing you heard or saw

which made you laugh out loud?

My 7 year old niece was playing with a

caterpillar and the caterpillar was tickling

her and making her laugh out loud which was making me

laugh out loud also.

If you could be on any TV game show, which would it be?

Family Feud

What’s the number 1 piece of advice you would give others

about life?

In order to get, you have to give - If you support, guide, and lead

others and if you make contributions to their lives, you will reap

the best rewards.

What is the most rewarding thing about working in your role?

The most rewarding thing about working in my role is being able

to support and assist clients to gain everyday life skills, and

confidence within themselves and watching them grow and

prosper.

What does ‘person-centred’ mean to you?

Person-centred is giving clients their freedom of choice and

control and supporting their decisions to assist with gaining

everyday life skills.

What are you most excited about in your new role at CLO

Being able to support and assist clients and work colleagues as

well as gaining new experiences within myself.

COMMUNITY MINDED AMANDA LIVES TO GIVE...

Amanda joined Community Living Options in 2014. Amanda lives in a cluster with other clients which is spread across five units.

Amanda is close with her family and friends and enjoys participating in activity outings such as going to the beach with friends and family or going to charity outlets (op shops, goodwill or second hand shops) and going to Club Slick once a month.

Amanda enjoys participating and helping people within the community when she can. Her recent project is doing a big spring clean within her home

and decided to donate certain items that she does not want to keep to goodwill. “I really wanted to donate things to the goodwill to help other people who cannot afford to purchase much” Amanda stated. Amanda also hoped that giving away her stuff may put a smile on someone else’s face adding that she gives a lot of spare shopping bags that she doesn’t use to charity outlets.

Cooking with CLO was run over 4 weeks at

the Morphett Vale office, as well as the

Victor Harbor office.

Over these sessions the goals were to

provide clients with information and

training in relation to kitchen safety and

hygiene, healthy food choices, budgeting

and menu planning and a community

shopping visit to practice skills learnt over

the 4 sessions.

Cooking with CLO also provided clients

from different sites with the opportunities

for interaction and participation in social

activities. Furthermore it offered the

opportunities for clients to achieve their

developmental and independent living

goals for health, education and personal

care and safety.

Everyone who participated gave positive

feedback about the content in each

session and loved cooking the yummy

recipes. There has been plenty of interest

from other CLO clients to participate in the

program when it is next scheduled to run

again.

We’d love to hear from you if you are

interested in being in the next ‘Cooking

with CLO’.
