23.01.2022 After a huge 29 weeks of remote working, our office staff are finally back! For our Support Coordinator, Cheryl, working from home certainly had it's benefits but she feels so much better to be back working from our Wollongong Hub, "I was itching to come back in the end! I was able to communicate with my team and other staff quite easily while working remotely, but it's the water cooler moments and hallway conversations that you miss out on by being away. The team vibe was something I definitely missed."

Community Gateway is committed to supporting our clients and staff achieve optimum health, not just throughout #MentalHealthMonth, but always.

By getting to know Lyn through our regular visits, we uncovered her goal to establish a succulent garden - a place where she can relax and spend time with her family.
