Lots of things excite me about what we do but the most important thing is changing people’s lives. We do that a lot. We do it all the time, in all the offices, in all of our interactions. We do all we can to help people to get where they need to be in life, where they have a purpose.

Having been part of Campbell Page for 5 years, I’ve been able to share some amazing times with colleagues and clients. Living locally, I am reminded of our work long after the job seeker moves on and that’s the best part of my job.

We give people choices – we allow people to live a life filled with options – something they haven’t had before.

To me, that’s what we do for people. We give them the opportunity to make choices about where they live, what they do with their time, where they go on holidays and what they do with their life. Some situations are tougher than others but I’ve always believed the harder you fight for it, the better the reward. I try to pass that on to all the job seekers that I work with.

Earlier this month, Campbell Page held the first of our #BeSeenin2017 events. Hosted at the Frankston Bowls Club, the event was an opportunity for service providers within the community to connect and be seen.

The aim of this event was to connect service providers who specialise in employment support and health care support with one another – specifically those relating to disability and mental health. Over 30 community organisations from across the Mornington Peninsula attended the event, with many now excited about the potential partnerships that have come to light since the event.

We provided the perfect networking opportunity for these organisations, and since the event, we have received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback about how fantastic the event was for building connections and partnerships. – Sarah Ham, Business Manager

Some of the community organisations who attended included: Active One Group, Dress for Success, Enveco Health Inc, FMC – Family Mediation & Counselling, Foresite Training, Peninsula Health, Homesglen Tafe, and Royal District Nursing Service.

The event was a great way for all in attendance to forge new relationships. Our next event in Frankston will take place in April and will focus on connecting job seekers and employers.  – Adrian Mudronja, Partnership Manager

It’s very rewarding to know that you are working as part of something, seeing so many different people supported by the programs that we provide.

I’m the Corporate Finance Manager, so being able to see the impact that we have in our clients’ lives is a real eye-opener. Day-to-day I manage the financial processes, end of month reporting and financial year reporting, so from my perspective, being more in the back office, it’s just fantastic to see how many programs we’ve delivered so successfully that have impacted on people’s lives.

We give more than we know.

Campbell Page is getting stronger, really investing in the good things that we do, with a greater focus on our core strengths and in the places that we can have the most impact.
It’s an exciting future and I am looking forward to being a part of it.

What advice would you give to people wanting to join the Green Army?

“Definitely join as it will only improve your skillset, knowledge and network for a variety of employment opportunities”

We love having Jayson on our team and love hearing the feedback from his participants:

“I wanted to thank you for accepting me into the Green Army project at Killalea State Park last year.

A huge congratulations to our Scenic Rim teams who graduated from Campbell Page Green Army on 12th of January. Over the past two years, Scenic Rim participants have achieved above and beyond results within the Scenic Rim Council, planting over 42,232 plants and treating 60.65 hectares of weeds.

Additionally, they completed a number of environmental surveys, monitored native flora and fauna, completed two accreted TAFE units each and have gained invaluable on the job skills.
Out of the 70 participants who joined us on this journey, 20 found employment from the project!

We asked our Scenic Rim team what they enjoyed the most from the Green Army:

The Green Army has helped make irreplaceable friends.
It has been great to work outdoors and give back the environment.
I can’t wait to come back in a year to see all the plants and how tall they have grown.

We would like the thank Scenic Rim Regional Council and all our participants for your ongoing support and commitment; we could not have done it without you!
