More great work from our amazing Nulsen Youth Patrons at All Saints' College WA 🙌🏻

Thanks to Matt Keogh MP Federal Member for Burt who visited one of our homes on Wednesday to learn more about the impact of the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and listen to some of our ideas and solutions to build a better NDIS for all Australians.

We very much appreciated our time with Matt and look forward to welcoming Bill Shorten MP to Nulsen when next in Western Australia to see first-hand the work we achieve every day to enhance the lives of people with disability in our care.

Special thanks to Tallis and our Nulsen Youth Patrons at Hale School who recently lent their voice-over skills at Soundbyte Studios to record Nulsen's on-hold telephone messages!

An extra special thanks to the team at Soundbyte for their ongoing support and in-kind sponsorship of this activity!

Hale School Junior School students had a blast at a lunchtime games extravaganza organized by Year 11 Nulsen Youth Patrons.

There was coin tossing, shoe throwing, footy kicking, donut eating and much more! A delicious sausage sizzle provided by our friends at Zenith and served with a smile by Nulsen Youth Patron Program sponsor Ansvar Insurance, saw crowds of hungry boys flock to fill their bellies.

The Junior School rang with laughter and cheers from lucky winners at what was a fun-filled lunchtime break! All funds raised will contribute to the Make A Wish program for Nulsen residents.

Did you know it's National Reconciliation Week from May 27 to June 3?

This is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

Nulsen Group supports the notion that Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We encourage everyone to take part in local events occurring this week, such as the Walk for Reconciliation.
