CEO MESSAGE
It’s been a busy few months for YFCC with our head office relocation to 62 Stewart Street being completed and a range of events being coordinated during the period. One of these events included YFCC sponsorship of the Devonport Chamber of Commerce breakfast event for Office Professionals and Managers Day. This was a great opportunity to celebrate office staff and managers throughout the local region and recognise their contribution to and efforts in the local economy. YFCC also had the opportunity to promote our services with Chairman Nick Sherry speaking on the history of YFCC and the range of services we offer.
|
In other news, the current contract for the ParentsNext Program ends on 30 June. This has been delivered through a partnership between WISE Employment and YFCC and has achieved some significant outcomes for parents and their children across the Burnie region. The program links parents with children under the age of six to a range of social, training and educational activities to assist them to achieve their life and career goals. We leave the program knowing we have made a positive difference to many of the program’s clients. A new service provider will take over ParentsNext delivery in the region beginning in July.

CEO Ros Atkinson is currently on leave but will be back in the captain’s chair in late June.

HEAD OFFICE RELOCATION
YFCC has recently relocated its head office from Oldaker Street to 62 Stewart Street, Devonport, next door to the Devonport Junction Hub. The big move was made over the weekend of 5th & 6th May and went very smoothly, with our management, administration and NSP services ready for action first thing Monday morning.
|
The Integrated Family Support Services team and Regional Alcohol & Drugs Services now operate from the Junction Hub next door. The Junction Hub was recently renovated with additional offices and counselling room to enable this move.
|
|
If you’ve ever moved house, you’ll appreciate how big an operation it was to relocate, and you’ll also recognise our disbelief at the amount of ‘stuff” we had stored in every corner at Oldaker Street that was either broken, out of date or just plain redundant.
|
A big thank you to all the team who assisted in the move, and the teams at Neveco and Coastal Removals who both played a major role in the project.
|
Please note our phone number remains the same for the new office – (03) 6423 6635.
