”I am writing to say thanks for your presentation on THC’s management planning yesterday evening. It is comprehensive, systematic and sensible and will serve THC well. It is also a big, complex job to manage with the major uncertainties coming, ironically, from THC’s major funder, the NDIS with its policy vacillations. We are fortunate to have such a competent, stable team to manage all this. I refer to Nicola, Anne Louise, Inna and Malik in particular. I should also mention David who has been such an excellent chairman. He has done his homework and has a clear idea of the Board’s role (as explained, for example, in his video on THC’s web site)"

"Just saw your annual report – it looks amazing! I love the metrics, the stories and the layout. Just super."

”Hi Anne Louise , thanks to everyone for being there for Alex! Sounds like it was a great evening, Alex is a very lucky guy! You guys are heroes, thanks so much A BIG THANK YOU to ALL. In many ways, we see Alex maturing and handling some things better over time. He’s beginning to show more independence travelling home by public transport for example and sometimes saying nice things at the right time. We see the hand of all at THC helping to make that happen! Progress in some of the OCD areas is slower of course, but we all live in hope and are always grateful for the kind and patient friendship, love and support which you always show.”

”I would also just like to say how incredibly grateful we are to be fortunate enough to have Sandesh (Sandy) as a part of Richard's team. He is so incredibly kind, thoughtful, competent, and always calm despite some of the challenges that he would face daily. I've never witnessed Sandy become agitated or reactive, even in the most complex circumstances. He has driven Richard all the way home here in the country on a number of occasions and supported him at his grandfather's funeral with such sympathy. He truly is a wonderful individual and we are so happy that he and Richard have become so close.”

"Also, I just want to give a big shout out to how great Pujan is generally, and especially today. There was an issue with the Coles online order and he sorted it so gracefully and kindly for me, and also put all the food away in batches, so that we aren’t getting the waste that we normally get when people just shove everything in the freezer! So I do always tell him that I really appreciate him, but I just wanted to let you know that he really does go above and beyond every day, and we love him lots. Pujan has accompanied Richard to some of the most difficult appointments, hospital visits, and through big and challenging changes in his life. He always does this with kindness, dignity and incredible empathy. He is a great support to both me and Richard. So lucky to have him."

"The past five years at The Housing Connection have been an incredibly meaningful and rewarding journey. I've learned so much and have been fortunate to work with truly wonderful people. I genuinely hope our paths cross again in the future.”

"Thank you Anne Louise for the video and photos and the lovely note. It was our pleasure to make Susan’s 70th special and for all who helped her celebrate. She looks very happy in the photos. I loved the way you read the speech to Susan, I could see she really enjoyed it, we are very grateful to you Anne Louise for the extra care you give to Susan, I don’t think we could cope without the help that Susan receives from all of you. Love and thank you again”
