O n Tuesday, August 19th, our Victorian team gathered for our second state-based Achievement Dinner at the Glass Pavilion in the Docklands. The evening was a wonderful celebra- tion of the dedication, hard work, and accomplishments of our team. We were thrilled to award three Gold SCOTYs this year, along with two Commitment to Operational Excellence Awards and one Special Distinction. We also recognised 5 and 10 Years of Service and celebrated Freedom Certif- icates and Awards. The night was filled with laughter, recognition, and many shared stories, showcasing the great culture we continue to foster together. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening so enjoyable. Congratulations once again to all our award recipients, your hard work and achievements set a high standard for us all. Beth Mafrici Vic Operations Manager
