25.01.2022 Absolutely Brilliant work by Essential Skills Training & Recruitment RTO ID 91729.

24.01.2022 The 10th of Oct each year is World Mental Health Day. It is a day for mental health awareness and education, for those who may have an mental illness and for those who know someone who has. In Australia there is still much stigma surrounding mental health. We continually see and hear misrepresentations in the media and through conversation about people suffering a mental illness. Words such as 'crazy', 'lunatic', 'hopeless', 'loony' and 'maniac' can be thrown around without much thought to the damage they inflict on peoples lives.

Accuro Homecare is lucky enough to have dozens of these special people helping clients live more independently and with dignity on a daily basis. To all of you out there helping others live a better life and our office staff, Accuro Homecare would like to say a very big thank you to a job well done!

17.01.2022 Putting out a genuine call for help! We have just learned that our recent order of P95 face masks will not be coming due to a supply issue and our stocks are running low. We have tried to find alternative sources without success. Is there anyone that can help with the supply of N95 or P2 face masks? We have 116 workers out in the field providing services for the sick, the elderly and the disabled. Without these masks, our workers will be at risk and therefore may not be able to continue providing these services. Please spread the word around. We are happy to pay a fair price for the masks. Any help is much appreciated.

16.01.2022 The home care industry, much like the aged care industry, has quite a high turnover of staff. This can impact clients with continuity of care and increase the costs of staff replacement and training. Accuro has identified that it needs to promote a culture of appreciation and recognition for its staff in order to combat this issue. One part of the initiative was to roll out Perkbox to all employees who have passed their probation period. Read the full article here...... https://www.accurohomecare.com/resources/news/perkbox
