A welcome start to the New Year, Tewantin Noosa RSL has been recognised with an award as part of EPIC Assist’s Supportive Employer Recognition Plan.

This plan recognises organisations who are committed to providing employment opportunities for people with disability and creating a supportive and inclusive working environment for all.

EPIC’s Supportive Employer Recognition Plan was launched in October 2020 as a way of recognising and rewarding long term, inclusive employers. Employers are awarded a level depending on the years they have worked with EPIC, number of participants they have employed, and number of current participants.

Tewantin Noosa RSL qualified as a Silver member, having worked with EPIC Assist for a decade and employing over seven participants, 50 per cent of whom are currently employed.

“We are very excited by this recognition, particularly as it reflects some of the core values of the club of being inclusive and creating a supporting environment for our community,” said General Manager Julie McLaws.
