EFQC is known for turning the complex into clear\, practical\, and manageable steps. Before starting EFQC in 2011\, Sharon worked in the Commonwealth Government where she helped design Australia’s first certification system for disability services and received an Australia Day Award for excellence in audit processes. \nToday\, EFQC works with providers of all sizes across Australia — from sole traders through to large organisations — helping them build strong\, workable systems and feel confident about compliance. EFQC’s head office is here in Adelaide. \nA unique part of EFQC’s work is training the people who assess NDIS providers: since 2018\, EFQC has been engaged by the NDIS Commission to train all 1\,600 NDIS auditors nationally each year. This gives us rare insight into what auditors look for\, common challenges for providers\, and what “good” really looks like in practice.

SUMMARY:Stretton Centre - Strategic Marketing for Small Business Growth

SUMMARY:Reconciliation Australia - National Reconciliation Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:All In for National Reconciliation Week 2026\n  \nThe theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 is All In\, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. \nAll In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change. \nThe theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity\, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people\, who have carried the weight of championing\, explaining and acting for far too long. \nReconciliation will not happen by itself\, and it will not happen without all of us. \nThe #NRW2026 campaign was created in collaboration with Carbon Creative\, a First Nations-owned and operated marketing and creative agency. \nThe artwork for this campaign is by renowned Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey\, who applied his distinctive style to create a colourful and optimistic visual representation of people from all walks of life being ‘all in’ to make change.
