Catalyst Newsletter | May 12
Hello South Australian clients, supporters, and business partners – I am pleased to bring to you our very first newsletter. On the 29 May 2023 I was appointed as the CEO of Catalyst Foundation. There have been changes over this time. However, our constant priority has been to ensure Catalyst Foundation remains a high value and independent source of information and support for older people, communities, and the care sector in South Australia about the services available for them.
Whether it’s through our telephone service, Aged Care Navigators, sector or community trainings and website resources, a great day is when we have helped people access the information they need to navigate the ever-changing Aged Care space.
It is true, aged care, disability, health, and associated community services are undergoing enormous regulation reform including how services are funded and delivered.
As an independent, small, and punchy organisation our priority over the coming months and beyond is to strengthen partnerships, enhance program effectiveness, and ensuring transparency across our operations.
This quarterly newsletter is the start of our dialogue and sharing information and updates with you.
From me, over to the team!
– CEO Rosetta Rosa
