CEO Update – June 2018

It helps us to make the most out of each opportunity. But we can only achieve our goals if they are properly set. Famous author, motivational speaker and trainer, Zig…

CEO Update – May 2018
The recent announcement of 14,000 additional Home Care Packages from the 2018-19 Federal Budget is very welcomed news. We’re proud to be supporting Australians to live independently in their homes for longer. This increase to allocated packages means that more people will move off the waiting list and receive packages which can be tailored to meet their needs. This in turn gives Lifebridge increased confidence to grow and expand its services and programs to meet the needs of its customers. It is reassuring to see the Government allocating resources to areas where it is needed so service providers like Lifebridge can make a positive difference in people’s lives. Equally reassuring…
