  • Tony Hollamby, Chief Executive Officer
  • Jim Curtain, Director of Mission
  • Marie Scholem, Director of Organisational Development and Workforce

The structure of our disability service is the backbone of the whole organisation and our success thus far is based on our experience and drive to get it right. As a result of the current structure:

  • the flow of work is constant
  • links between streams are stronger, and
  • actions and outcomes take place quickly.

Accord is well on its way to building a stronger disability support service and, as a result, increasing employee engagement, retention, satisfaction, determination, and accountability.
