FaceBook Review
I participated in the sole trader information session delivered by Isaac. I highly recommend Daisi and Isaac, a wealth of knowledge, genuine and invested in ensuring mutually beneficial relationships between clients and sole traders.
The information session itself is very informative, provides you with everything you need to get started, I would highly recommend.
“Highly recommended”

FaceBook Review
Janelle Monaghan is my Support Coordinator for Dasi on the Gold Coast. Janelle is very skilful, has integrity, a hard worker and without her professionalism and support my brother Mark Renouf and myself would find it extremely difficult to negotiate with service providers to assist Mark to achieve his goals. Janelle is 
reliable in everything she does in supporting Mark and myself.
“Hard working and professional”

FaceBook Review
I am a carer and have been dealing with Janelle from Daisi for over 18 months and would highly recommend her to any one with a disability as their co-ordinator. She is amazing. She puts in 110% for her clients and their carers. She has never let us down once. She will always get back to you at her earliest convenience. Always follows up your queries. Is happy and kind and caring and thorough.
“Puts in 110%”

School is back tomorrow and so is Yale to help students ease into the school year!
Yale chose a career as a well-being dog at Trinity Catholic Primary School at Kemps Creek in Western Sydney.
Kathy, who was the principal at Trinity, felt that the students needed support to alleviate their anxieties about coming back to face-to-face learning after the COVID-19 lockdowns.
Yale was the perfect candidate and has taken up the post of education support dog to help students re-engage with their love of school and their love of learning.
He spends his days in the playground and in the learning support classroom, offering a calming presence or an opportunity for a cuddle to any child that's feeling a little bit anxious.
