“Under very trying circumstances Nikki dealt with a conflict incident very professionally, with calm clear demurer, she was clear and concise on procedures. While still connecting with the distressed community member she showed fairness and kindness after deescalating the situation.”
“Nikki showed remarkable care and compassion when supporting a community member experiencing a mental health episode. She remained calm and grounded, following her Mental Health First Aid training to ensure the person felt safe, heard and genuinely supported. At the same time, she was thoughtfully aware of her own safety and the wellbeing of others around her.”
“I am incredibly proud of the way Nikki represented our organisation in a very vulnerable moment. I have no doubt that any of our team members would feel the same had they witnessed her professionalism and kindness. Nikki truly lives our values of fairness, kindness, integrity, respect, connection and belonging. She is very deserving of Worker of the Month.”

“Rick has shown up for the house when it comes to the renovation in the reception room, previously in the opshop and also always speaks up when he has a way or knows someone that can do a better deal on a price- saving the house money!”
“And of course, a special mention for his famous “Eezy Peezy” sauce— it's a winner and raises money for SPNH - very much appreciated!”
