Employment benefits
sally's journey As part of a fabulous opportunity by Access to participate in their Business Cert 1 Traineeship for 2018, I was interviewed for Rural Lifestyle Options Australia and started in March. During my traineeship process, I was very nervous starting my first day. Upon arrival, Kirily walked me around the office and introduced me to all the staff. I felt my nerves subside and a part of the team instantly. Annett was tasked to train me for reception, she is a very patient woman, from there my knowledge grew into learning other admin tasks so I was able to cover for Annett for holidays. Once my traineeship finished, I was given the opportunity to stay on fulltime at the Rural Lifestyle Options Australia office in South East Queensland.

I feel very honoured to have been given this opportunity to work for such a wonderful organisation and to be part of the support network for the participants and families serviced in the Scenic Rim area. I am looking forward to being involved with the future expansion of the organisation and being able to make a difference, big or small in the lives of the individuals living with a disability in our community.
