Health and Wellbeing:
The fatigues of life catch up with everyone, at some stage. We have appointed Mr Sean Kneebone to oversee our committments to improved health and wellbeing through being active and mobile, healthy eating and the benefits of rest and good sleep. Sean first began working at Choice in 2005. Post ex tropical cyclone Larry in April 2006 Sean lead the documentary team capturing the positive human behaviour changes from over 520 paid employees working to address some of the damages caused in Cairns, Babinda, Innisfail and Tully.
The More Safer Project:
Choice completed the Worksafe Qld Injury Prevention and Management Program (IPAM) in 2024. Since that time there have been numous updates to work health and safety, which we have incorporated. Choice shares our experiences from the IPAM course and the resources and materials that create safer working environments with small not for profits and charities.
Since inception in 1997 we have been collaborating with local community groups to achieve positive social capital outcomes. We welcome the financial investment from Australia Post through their People of the Post 2024 and 2025 grant and Ergon Energy in 2026 for their committment to being a Work Health and Safety Partner.
Our Work Health and Safety Partners are:
Social Reform Research:
Social Reform Research roles provide direct ownership for improved health and increased happiness and positivity along with productivity in a persons life and their community. We began transitioning to this model in 2024 as one way to achieve sustainable improved social capital outcomes. In March 2026 we agreed to a university student placement (sociology degree) to assist with analysis of the life and lifestyle outcomes.
Local Partnership:
Choice has partnered with Cairns based company CFOURW & CO Pty Ltd to provide a safe, reliable and enjoyable service for people on an NDIS package. This partnership focuses on Choice's 29 year tenure in service delivery and strength in work health and safety and the positive achievements of CFOURW & CO Pty Ltd over the past 19 years in personal heath and well being and care and support services.
Commercial Cooperation and Collaboration:
We look for and welcome commercial coorperation and collaboration to achieve positive social capital outcomes. The cooperation and collaboration can look different and should to ensure collectively the best is achieved for vulnerable peoples.
