“I would like to say thank you for looking after my son James. James is doing well after your help. He is happy with his job at KFC, also he is signing up for a course to get his Hospitality certificate III. Your service is great and we are lucky to have had you. We appreciate your time and effort that you have put in and we are looking forward to seeing more of you.”

“At present the job market appears to be difficult for many with a disability, however Leisa [from GCESS] has shown tremendous drive, enthusiasm and resolve to progress that opportunity for Amber at Bond University. I not only commend Leisa on her adeptness in this situation but also her integrity as she has gone above and beyond her duty to Amber on so many occasions.”

Gail

“I believe that since I have been with GCESS I have received excellent support, both when applying for a position and since obtaining employment. I am able to talk to Leisa about all aspects of my work. By having weekly contact with her I feel confident that I can talk about my employment needs and any work problems.”
