Common Grounds Adelaide Impact Report 2024-25

Highlights:

We’re pleased to share that Common Ground achieved accreditation under the Australian Service Excellence Standards (ASES), Certificate Level. This means Common Ground Adelaide has been independently assessed and recognised as meeting high standards in the way we work with clients and residents and deliver support within our programs. It also means we meet high standards within the governance, systems and processes in place at Housing Choices that support our service delivery. The ASES assessment involved a detailed review of how our services operate, including providing evidence, conducting interviews, site visits, and receiving feedback from clients, residents, volunteers, senior management, HCA Board members and partner organisations. We’re especially proud that the assessors shared such strong positive feedback about how our staff work with clients and residents.
