We feel so lucky to have gone with Wesley Mission Queensland and especially to have been assigned Donna as our Care Leader.
WMQ have a long history of supporting people. We take responsibility for the services we organise and provide, and we make sure our front-line workers are passionate about the important work they do.
I’d like to formally acknowledge our In Home Care Coordinator, Donna. Donna has always been there for us from the moment we started with Wesley Mission QLD. Donna is so competent, knowledgeable, professional and is a credit to Wesley Mission QLD.
