25.01.2022 Today marks very significant day in history; ANZAC Day. Today we remember those who served and especially those who fell. Last year Ozanam Enterprises had the honor of assembling nearly 100,000 ANZAC badges for the RSL.... Whilst all employees were proud to be contributing towards Australias proud ANZAC tradition, the work was especially meaningful for one member of the team, Julie. Julie has worked at Ozanam Enterprises for almost 21 years and was delighted to work on the ANZAC badges due to her ANZAC family connection. Having brought in a photo of her Dad from home, Julie shared the story of the late James Arthur Taylor, a brave soldier and rear gunner who flew 43 trips over Germany and France in a Lancaster Bomber during World War II. Today we say thank you to all of the brave soldiers that fought for our country and for our freedom. Lest We Forget.

24.01.2022 The Pallet Jack Gang! Between the two work sections at Ozanam Enterprises (Packaging and Production), there are twelve helpful employees who are experienced with using the pallet jacks around the workplace. We use pallet jacks to transport and move stillages, pallets and other heavy items around our large factory. ... As well as being displayed on a rotating roster, these employees can also be recognized by their orange vests.

22.01.2022 At Ozanam Enterprises, we are passionate and value the variety of work we do for our customers. Over 45 years, we have been lucky enough to perform all sorts of interesting work ranging from lawn mowing & gardening services, to recycling electronic waste, to shrink wrapping pizza boxes. The skills within our employees, together with the tools and machinery we use inside our large factory premise allow us to carry out a range of different jobs, where no two are ever the same...! The type of work we do is forever changing as we welcome new work opportunities. In saying this, Covid has impacted us negatively and we could definitely benefit from expanding our customer base and workload. We specialize in (but are certainly not limited to): Assembly work, packaging, mail-outs, pick’n’pack, shrink wrapping and warehousing. If yourself, or anybody you know is interested in utilizing our enterprise to carry out work requirements, please contact Nancy on any of the below details: Nancy Zele | Business Development Specialist 0427 209 763 [email protected]

17.01.2022 Here is a handy tool that you can use to find out where yours, as well as your friends or families 25km radius bubble overlaps. Your bubbles will only overlap if you are both within 25kms of each other. Give it a try!

17.01.2022 Did you know our employees are welcome to have their Support Worker with them during their shifts? Pictured is one of our supported employees Elly, with her Support Worker Caroline. Caroline accompanies Elly during her workdays at Ozanam Enterprises. Elly says she enjoys having Caroline with her at Ozanam as she not only helps her with her work, but she also makes it more enjoyable and feels less worried with Caroline present. ... Caroline feels Elly benefits from having her there as it has "helped get her back into the working environment and as a result Elly has become more independent. There are many different ways we support people living with a disability in the workplace. Allowing our employees to bring their Support Worker with them to work is certainly one of them!

16.01.2022 These such uncertain times we are living in and its important that we dont fall into the trap of thinking negatively. We have been asked to change the way we once used to do certain things. This may be difficult to get used to at first, but well worth it in the long run. Social distancing and self isolating can easily make us feel lonely so its crucial we try to stay connected with our friends and family.... This could be as simple as a phone call, a video call or even just a text message. Remember this is only temporary and never feel afraid to reach out to others if you are not okay!

15.01.2022 Here is your monthly serving of yummy foods made by our employees Maybe you're thinking of getting creative in the kitchen this weekend? If so, allow these photos to be your inspiration! ... Happy Friday everybody

11.01.2022 As no outfit is complete without a mask these days, we need to be extra weary when communicating with those who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Please be patient, kind and open minded.
