Inverell Community Support and Inverell Meals on Wheels will become one, effective Friday 1 November, forming a unified organisation dedicated to serving the Inverell community.
The merged entity, to be known as Inverell Community Support, is embracing this opportunity to strengthen our impact and enhance our services in response to the evolving operational landscape for small-community owned organisations, driven by government reforms.
“As a unified entity, the merger will better position us to sustain our operations and increase our capacity. By consolidating efforts and resources, streamlining operations, and eliminating unnecessary administrative duplication, we will become more efficient and effective.” said Kylie Webster, Inverell Community Support Services Manager.
“During the transition, it will be business as usual, with no changes to service delivery or staffing.”
Beck Brennan, Inverell Meals on Wheels Manager, emphasised the shared mission and values of both organisations.
“Importantly, the merged organisation will remain proudly community-owned and operated-existing for the community, by the community.” said Brennan.
“The commitment to providing high-quality support remains our shared priority, and the merged organisation will continue its long-standing service to the Inverell community with renewed strength and unity. This forward-thinking decision ensures our long-term commitment to serving them.”
The two organisations will keep clients, employees, volunteers and other community stakeholders informed of the merger process including information forums for employees and volunteers.
