In September the GWHCC completed Level 1 Accreditation for Carers WA Activate - This is for organisations who are beginning to develop carer friendly workplace policies and practices. We are the first regional organisation to achieve this and we were incredibly proud to
achieve this milestone. The Carers + Employers program defines best practice standards for supporting staff with caring
responsibilities. This may be any employee within your organisation who provides informal support or care to a family member or friend.
CEO of Carers WA Richard Newman came to Kalgoorlie to present the award to President, Kylie McLerie, Support & Carer Coordinator Christine Kupe and CEO Gloria Moyle.
Recognition of Health Justice partnership
Our CEO Gloria Moyle attended the 2024 IPAA WA Achievement Awards last week as our Health - Justice partnership that is funded by
Department of Health was nominated in the "best practice in Health & Well Being. "This partnership is innovative in its
approach—embedding specialist legal services within women’s health centre’s where women already feel safe and supported. This model breaks
down silos between health and legal services, providing an integrated, trauma-informed solution that addresses not just one, but multiple
needs at once. This is the kind of early intervention that can change lives, and it’s both cost-effective and efficient in its ability to
prevent long-term harm" Although we didn't take out the award we are thrilled to be supporting about Goldfield’s women, children, and
families who are at a crossroads, looking for a way forward. I think of the women we serve, the ones whose voices are often unheard, and I
am inspired by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference." Thank you to everyone who has supported this important work, and to those
who will continue to champion women’s health, safety, and access to justice. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of women
and families, not just today, but for generations to come."
"For me, this initiative is not just about policy or systems—it’s about Goldfield’s women, children, and families who are at a
crossroads, looking for a way forward. I think of the women we serve, the ones whose voices are often unheard, and I am inspired by the
opportunity to make a meaningful difference."
"None of this would be possible without the collective effort of all those involved.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this important work, and to those who will continue to champion women’s health, safety,
and access to justice.
Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of women and families, not just today, but for generations to
come." Gloria Moyle CEO
