Since leaving school our son, Nathan has been employed by Greenacres Disability Services an ADE organisation. Initially his low hourly pay rate concerned us but we soon realised that this had to be viewed as part of a whole situation. Nathan rightly receives a disability pension and Greenacres supplements this but, much more importantly, provides an exceptional social and developmental outlet for him and his co-workers. The supervisors in his workplace are exceptional people who go way above their basic job description and the entire organisation is to be commended. To lose this service would be an unmitigated tragedy for the local community. Greenacres offers a meaningful, purposeful lifestyle to individuals who would otherwise struggle to have one. It is imperative that Greenacres and other ADEs be supported in continuing this outstanding contribution to our society.
