History

GCESS was formed as a way to advance consumers of Trinity Training Centre to Open Community based employment.

While Trinity Training Centre offered accommodation support, independent living, training and community access, it was clearly identified that many people wanted the opportunity to work in their community.

Federal Government funding was granted in June 1992, and on 2 July 1992 GCESS became an Incorporated Association and began operating a week later.

In 1992 GCESS offered employment support to 18 Service Recipients and was staffed by two full time and two part time employees.

Since then, our organisation has evolved to include 140 Service Recipients and 12 staff.
