Quantum continues to deliver services

Quantum Support Services has continued to deliver vital services across Gippsland despite challenges to its working environment because of the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Quantum Board chair Roland Davies the organisation’s programs were more important than ever in a climate of social and economic change as never seen before.

“Our staff and leadership team has worked incredibly hard to ensure our vulnerable community members get the assistance they need,” Mr Davies said.

“We must continue to focus on this important work, especially in the delivery of services to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.

“The number of people facing housing stress is growing in an uncertain economic climate so this also continues to be a priority.

“We continue to respond to women and children experiencing family violence with our child and family services an integral part of our work.”

Mr Davies said the board was cognisant of the need to continually review and evaluate all aspects of its operation to respond to the changing circumstances caused by COVID-19 while remaining focused on Quantum’s strategic direction.

Quantum must continually strive for best practice across the organisation as it faces increasing demand for its services. With the impending completion of current chief executive officer’s three-year contract, the Board will follow best practice protocols by advertising the position widely to ensure that we continue to provide important community leadership into the future.

“As we continue to operate in these times of uncertainty, we must continue to place a priority on those in need in our community and the wellbeing of staff who make that possible,” he said.
