15.01.2022 Congratulations to Launceston local Patrick on being an ABC Heywire winner and sharing his story! He shares the same passion for farming as does his family and wants to keep the family tradition alive. Despite living with Autism, he finds the training calms him. "Noise can be an issue for me. I hate sirens. But when you're busy working you don't notice the sounds, and they're for a reason. If cows are mooing they're hungry and want to be moved. Sheep start baa'ing because the...y're trying to get to know each other." You can read more here https://www.abc.net.au/heywire/patrick_burnie_tas/12919368

Outside of the office, Amelia loves animals and in particular native wildlife . She tries to live a sustainable lifestyle and embraces the outdoors at any opportunity given.

07.01.2022 Meet Matt, one of our Support Coordinators from our Disability Services team. We love having Matt as part of our team here at HR+! He is a genuine and empathetic character that understands the meaning behind team player. Whilst Matt likes to laugh out loud, have fun and be a bit of a class clown , he is also a fantastic listener and will always lend a helping hand wherever he can. He’s also the king of Dad Jokes and Dark Humour, especially when dealing with challenging c...ircumstances. Outside of work, Matt likes to immerse himself in his musical talents; from playing guitar , to amateur music recording . He also doesn’t mind dabbling in PC gaming! When asking Matt if he could be any cartoon character, he invested long and hard at the idea. He soon realised he would jump in to the shoes of Rick Sanchez, also known as ‘Pickle Rick’ from the Rick & Morty TV series. We’re so glad to have such a fun & positive team player at HR+ that makes a positive impact.

06.01.2022 Before we moved offices last year, we auctioned some of our office furniture and items, and decided to donate 100% of the proceeds to City Mission North & North West TAS Winter Appeal. This will help to provide hundreds of warm meals during these cold winter days If you can, we encourage you to donate to an important cause that helps the lives of many Tasmanians https://www.citymission.org.au/support-us/donate

She never has a boring day in the office and her role keeps her on her toes. Outside of work, Carolyn likes to immerse herself in anything animals or nature. Whether it be hanging out with her pets dogs, cats, birds, reptiles or exploring the surrounding bushland. Carolyn was the only Support Coordinator to identify her cartoon character immediately, Little Miss Messy . We don’t necessarily agree with her It’s such a joy having someone like Carolyn in the office every day and we wouldn’t change it any other way!

02.01.2022 The Cocoon Project! Last week we had the pleasure of surprising our team with a personalised office art piece by the very talented local Tasmanian artist Dominique Claire. As part of our team response to COVID-19 & adjusting to the new normal, we formed 'The Cocoon Project' which gave the HR+ team a platform to express & reflect on their metamorphosis in to the new normal. Each team member chose a butterfly avatar that symbolised their transition. ... Dominique has accomplished an amazing piece we are so proud to call ours. Drawing & capturing not just our butterfly avatars, but also embracing our rural mascot 'Shauna the Sheep' & our wonderful 150+ office plants. Working alongside Dominique has been an absolute pleasure! During some fairly challenging times, we can all say how grateful to be where we are, part of an amazing team. We recommend you check out her other amazing pieces Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dominique_claire_/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com.au/DCamanita/

01.01.2022 Have you met Kim? She’s one of our Support Coordinators from our Disability Services team. Kim loves working at HR+ and we love having her bubbly company around! Working at HR+ allows her to engage with a range of clients and industries which ensures that her diverse day-to-day is never boring. She embraces the HR+ mantra that ‘anything can be possible’ if you can find a way. Kim is an extremely organised person that likes to have her to-do lists in order. Sh...e is also very passionate about empowerment and supporting an individual to identify what it is they want to work towards and how they would like to get there. Outside of work, Kim is an outdoor adventurer ! She enjoys fishing , camping , travelling and walking her dogs . If there’s ever a spare moment to be outdoors, you know she will be doing one of the above! She is also a chronic sweet-tooth and would happily eat lollies for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When asking Kim what cartoon character she would be, there was a few options she went through before identifying her true character. She eventually came to the conclusion that she would be King Julien from the movie Madagascar. We agree that King Julien reflects Kim’s fun, giggly and energetic personality to a tee. We’re so happy to have such a giggly, smiley team player at HR+ that lightens every day!
