Santa made a surprise visit to Nyirripi Aged Care.
Yesterday’s Nyirripi Christmas party was a wonderful way to finish off the challenging year, with a full house of smiles and Christmas spirit backed by the traditions of old with carols, tinsel, lights, bon-bons and full bellies. The food was amazing and in spite the larger numbers than expected, a plate or two of left overs was had by all to take home.
At the end of October 2021, the Commercial Services team from Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) converged in Alice Springs for in-house training.
In one of the sessions of the training the team reviewed the upcoming changes to employment services in regional and remote Australia; particularly, Government’s decision to change the Community Development Program (CDP) to a new remote jobs program in 2023. There was also a representative from the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) Central Australia office Engagement Team who attended a session to talk about the provider performance review process.
