Leading with Vision,Inspiring GrowthMichael NoonanChairPage 3 WCIG www.wcig.org.auReflecting on the past year, we have much to celebrate. Twosignificant examples I'd like to highlight are the continued growthof WCIG to increase our impact and the launch of our 2024-2029Strategic Plan. The plan establishes the organisation's key initiatives andpriorities over the next five years, focusing on continued growthand advocacy for our participants while strengthening our uniqueand distinct impact within the community services sector. At the core of our plan, we want to create more impact within thecommunity sector, reach more people, and be more accessible inmore places. The plan builds on WCIG's past achievements whileharnessing our strengths and preparing for a promising,sustainable future. The Strategic Plan has been an incredible collaboration and effortfrom our frontline staff, senior leaders, leadership team, boardmembers and, most importantly, our participants. We havelistened and heard the priorities echoed throughout the manyworkshops and discussions held and identified four core strategicdirections: Embrace - Embrace all participants for who they are. Reach - Support more participants through greater presence. Connect - Connecting participants, places, services, and partners. Realise – Invest in capabilities to realise our goals. These directions will frame WCIG's purpose and build on ourmission - "Empowering people to achieve a meaningful role insociety." The Board are fully committed to implementing the Strategic Planand the initiatives that will guide and support the organisationinto the future.We will invest to build and strengthen our foundations to scaleand operate in more locations across Australia. We remainfocussed on our staff and strengthening our workforce to servicethis growth, ensuring we have an inclusive and diverserepresentation of the people we support in all roles from thefrontline through to the governance of the organisation. We will continue to foster and nurture our relationship withemployers, as they are central to achieving our mission. We willkeep advocating for workplaces that are inclusive and welcomediversity as a strength and capability.We will stay true to our unique and distinct identity thatdistinguishes us from other providers through excellence in fiveareas, including: 1. Adopting a whole-of-person approach 2. Fostering a deep connection to place 3. Understanding what works 4. Investing in our participants and staff 5. Creating a range of pathways for participationConcerning our continued growth, I am pleased to report thatWCIG achieved an extraordinary milestone this year –expanding our Social Enterprise Group, Cleanable, intoBrisbane. This expansion aligns directly with our new StrategicDirection, Reach, and supporting initiatives - 'Geographic &Service Growth' and 'Grow our Social Enterprise Impact'. In June, we received an additional 1,109 Disability EmploymentService participants to WCIG, which allowed us to expand to anadditional 16 sites, resulting in further presence throughout theEast of Melbourne. I want to thank Graham, the WCIGleadership team, and all the remarkable staff at WCIG for theirefforts to make this expansion a reality. Your ongoingdedication to our participants and mission makes WCIG sospecial. This year, we welcomed four new directors to the WCIG Board -Sally Jones, Ivonne Ranisch, Akbar Shah, Georgia Tsiantas. Allbring a wealth of skills and expertise that will strengthen theorganisation's governance and a commitment to the success ofthe Strategic Plan. I want to acknowledge the contribution to WCIG made by LauraBarker and Renee Hancock, who left the Board this year. Lauramade a valuable contribution over her three years on the Board.We will miss her skills and insights. We will also miss Renee'sthoughtful and invaluable contributions. I wish both Laura andRenee well in their future endeavours. In 2023/24, the State and Federal Governments announcedseveral significant reforms impacting Employment and DisabilityServices. Namely, the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse,Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability Report; theWorking Future Australian Government's White Paper on Jobsand Opportunities; and the Independent Review into theNational Disability Insurance Scheme. WCIG has ensured thatwe keep up-to-date and active within this space, and all futureplanning, including our Strategic Initiatives, has allowed forpotential shifts within these areas.I am extremely proud of what we achieved in 2023/24 and amexcited about the future vision for WCIG.As I look forward to the year ahead, I am eager to see WCIGcreate more impact for more people and forge strongerrelationships with our peers. We will continue to advocate forchange and more opportunities for our participants. 2024 Annual Report Chair Report
