ideal event for workers to

implemented to the RIAS
program delivery and reporting
requirements.
Hi Everyone,
I am back at work after having a month of and visiting
my youngest daughter in Melbourne who just
happened to have her first little baby daughter born
on my 50 th birthday - how awesome is that! Was very
special and of course she is a darling and we all say
that but what baby isn‟t hey. Her name is Bri-anne
May born on the 30 th of March.
A big thankyou to Joyce for looking after my houses
and taking care of ER for me whilst I was away.
Ok well now back into it again… Longreach RIAS has
been pretty busy last few months with all our crisis
houses being occupied and more clients still inquiring
for housing. It has been harder this time round for
transfers of clients from crisis housing, as there have
been no vacancies into CRS housing or department
housing. A few clients have been lucky and are taking
the opportunity to be moving into private rental while
they can as this is also becoming pretty scarce and
fairly expensive.
Emergency relief has also been fairly busy with new
and existing clients accessing our services. I have
training coming up in Rockhampton in June which is
to replace Data collected from (Smart) SAAP which
now captures information from our clients and what
services we provide for them to the new collection
data coming into place in a couple of months from
Specialist Homelessness Services (SHS.)
Apart from this I am on a waiting game as my partner
has already moved to Rockhampton for work whilst I
remain here for a couple more months hoping our
house will sell. Once this happens I will join him on
our place in Gracemere.
Take care,
Venetta Hoch
