FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EXCELLED
Rio Tinto
Recognised for its work in improving literacy outcomes for Western Australian families, Rio Tinto has funded the Better Beginnings literacy program for 15 years in partnership with the State Library of Western Australia. The program has provided more than 700,000 reading packs for children from birth to kindergarten throughout the state.
Rio Tinto nominated The Smith Family to benefit from their $20,000 training prize.
WA Country Health Service
Delivering health services to more than half a million people at more than 100 sites spanning 2.5 million kilometres, WACHS has some challenges. Its Consumer Engagement in the 21st Century initiative identified gaps in the consumer feedback process. WACHS implemented a feedback program with strong uptake and engagement from its diverse client base.
The WA Country Health Service nominated the Leukaemia Foundation to benefit from their $20,000 training prize.
Appbot Pty Ltd
Started in 2011, Appbot allows developers and marketers to see how their app is performing in all app stores and has become the premier provider of app review analysis and reporting in the world. More than 35 per cent of the world’s top-charting apps use Appbot.
Appbot nominated PetRescue to benefit from their $20,000 training prize.
Rottnest Island Authority
Rottnest Island Authority’s commitment to environmental initiatives has led to it becoming one of just 10 Earth Check-certified sustainable destinations in the world. Moving away from diesel-powered generators, the self-powered island is a global leader and innovator in renewable energy.
Rottnest Island Authority nominated Rottnest Foundation to benefit from their $20,000 training prize.
VisAbility Limited
The National Disability Insurance Scheme and aged care reforms means now is a time of great change in the disability sector. VisAbility has worked to position itself as an employer of choice. The organisation has done away with annual performance reviews in favour of a focus on workforce development and transparency. A reward scheme for employees involving professional development has received great feedback from team satisfaction surveys.
VisAbility Limited nominated Guide Dogs WA to benefit from their $20,000 training prize.
P&N Bank
At a time when banks are being heavily scrutinised, P&N Bank has managed to stand out from its larger competitors through its approach to innovation. Its instant digital card technology was first to market in Australia and achieved huge uptake.
P&N Bank nominated Lifeline WA to benefit from their $20,000 training prize.
Cockburn Aquatic & Recreation Centre (ARC)
The City of Cockburn rose to considerable challenges in the lead up to opening its ARC facility in Perth’s southern corridor in May 2017. Lacking brand awareness in a market where 12 similar providers operated within a 5km radius, Cockburn ARC created a unique, standalone brand. The facility opened with 3500 members and doubled that number the next year.
Cockburn ARC nominated Cancer Council WA to benefit from their $20,000 training prize.
Black Swan State Theatre Company
Black Swan State Theatre Company achieved gender parity across its 2018 season for directors, writers and actors, with four of its eight productions written by women.
As a not-for-profit organisation Black Swan State Theatre Company were able to invest their $20,000 into their own workforce.
