Congratulations and thank you to Shirley Cripps who won the Innovate Architects annual “Top 4” NRL Tipping Competition. Shirley was able to nominate a charity close to her heart to receive the $1,000 winner’s prize. MND NSW was nominated by Shirley, and she was presented with the winners cheque by Cameron Jones of Innovate Architects.
In July 2017 MND NSW achieved verification under the NSW Disability Support Standards and accreditation under the QIC Health and Community Services Standards. We undertake accreditation every 3 years and it requires 2 external assessors 3 days to review our policies and procedures and our systems and work processes. The assessors also interviewed people with MND, carers, health professionals, MND NSW staff and board members.
Accreditation by a third party is important as it ensures that MND NSW support services are person centred and we are delivering services that are needed.
