CatholicCare Tasmania - 26Ten Grant

CatholicCare Tasmania's story

With their 26Ten Workplace Grant, CatholicCare Tasmania employed an Adult Literacy Trainer to work with their Out of Home Care team. This provided their employees with the opportunity to improve their literacy and numeracy skills through a program that was designed specifically for them, and delivered in collaboration with Work & Training.

Writing in plain English at Houston's Farm

"It's also given us another opportunity to talk about plain English generally, and what that means to the business, and to emphasise that gone are the days that you need to use long words and complicated sentences in a business-related document. The theme is always keep it simple and transfer the message as clearly as possible."

Wayne's story

"Deb's taught me you just need to understand a few words in an email and you can work out what it's about. She's very understanding and helps me with forms and other paperwork."

Acknowledgement of Country

26Ten recognises the deep histories and cultures of the Aboriginal people of Lutruwita/Tasmania, the land’s first storytellers. We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, waters and sky. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, culture and knowledge of Country. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose Countries were never ceded.
