| Individual
Achievement
Winner:
Jan Gulin, the Willochra Home (Anglicare Willochra, SA)
|
|
| Working
in a geographically isolated community in South Australia where it is
difficult to recruit and attract skilled staff, Jan made a significant
contribution toward the reorganisation of this aged care facility. |
|
| Energising
and supporting a team to transform the facility from a low-care
operation to an ageing-in-place facility that has a mix of high and low
care, she was instrumental in turning the facility around so that it
achieved all 44 accreditation outcome standards in record time.
All three judges recognised the monumental effort this took –
not only to make it happen, but to build the team that would then take
the facility into the future. |

Congratulations
