Welcome to the Elba Annual General Meeting for 2011/2012
This Annual Report provides comprehensive information on Elba Incorporated for the

Brief History of Elba Incorporated
Elba Incorporated was established in 1990 when a group of Spinal Cord Injured patients were offered no option but to reside at the Quadriplegic Centre in Shenton Park. These patients decided to assert their independence and establish an agency where they were able to manage their own funding from the Commonwealth Government which later transferred to the Disability Services Commission of Western Australia.
Funding to establish Elba was granted after two years of lobbying government.
A management committee was elected from the membership and a part time coordinator was employed to run the administrative operations of the agency and Elba Incorporated is now widely regarded as a service provider of choice in the Western Australian Disabled
Community.
Elba Incorporated adheres to all government requirements and policies with regard to its operations and notes the following government acts that stand as the prime directives for our business operations

Auditor General’s Act 2006;

Carers Recognition Act 2004;

Disability Discrimination Act 1992;

Equal Opportunity Act 1984;

Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act 1984;

Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 1981
The Acts listed above are available on the Elba website for your viewing or download.

.
Elba Incorporated is a founding member of the Spinal Cord Injury Support Network (SCISN).
The SCISN is a social network established for people with a spinal cord injury to socialise in a comfortable setting in a friendly wheelchair accessible environment.

I am very happy to report on a quite successful year for Elba Incorporated.
Both the Board and our administration team have been working very closely with the Disability
Services Commission (DSC) to address the challenges of the future.
In order to gain the maximum benefit for Elba from our time negotiating with the DSC we utilised the services of Mr. Ray Bennett of Bennett Consulting and I would like to give thanks to Ray, a longtime associate of Elba, for his time and effort in liaising between both parties and giving us the professional advice that we needed in order to come to many of the decisions that we were required to make.
Our Alternatives to Employment (ATE) service demand has continued to increase. We now have 3 staff members fully involved in servicing and running the program.
A full report will be given by our ATE Coordinator later in this document.
At this time I would like to acknowledge the following people who have given us great support over the past 12 months; their support and/or advice has proven invaluable to us in navigating through the past year with the success that we have had.

Overview of the year
As CEO for Elba Incorporated, I am excited to be able to share some thoughts and achievements over the past year. My motto has been to lead by example and hopefully that will inspire others to follow. My role as CEO has been very challenging and rewarding. I continue to learn from my experiences on a daily basis.
The three examples of integrity I demonstrate are as follows:
1.
Always follow through with what I have said I will do.
(this example instils trust)
2.
Openly admit when I have made a mistake.
(the fact that I allow myself to be vulnerable and communicate with my employees shows that I am not perfect and secures greater respect)
3.
To be personally, professionally and financially invested in my employees.
(this makes them feel honoured by my commitment to their ongoing success which results in them being loyal to the company)
Another year has passed, and what a great year it has been. We have had growth in our membership and have established a strong administration team. The re-structure of Elba employee roles and positions has resulted in more effective and efficient performance of our staff and the organisation as a whole.
Elba continually grows every year and more and more opportunities are presented to us, but more than ever the team are focused on Elba’s mission to support individuals to be able to live independently in the community.
Activities for the year include:
Web page
We have updated our wed page, which I hope you have all had a look at. Members were asked to suggest additions to the web site. It now has a clean and professional feel to it; Nicole is in
17
Elba Incorporated Annual Report

charge of in putting information on to the site so if you ever have anything to add or ideas please contact Nicole.
Workshops
Workshops are still been held at the office for Cert 3 and first aid courses, which will continue into the future. Our Friday training held by Merrylin is a vital part of a support workers training before they enter into our members home, first to be able to understand the role that there are taking on and secondly to comply with Elba’s policy and procedures and DSC requirements.
I would like to thank Merrylin once again for all her hard work.
Administration
Ryan our ATE/Administration Officer is doing a fantastic job in his new role; he has had great success with his CAP rounds and is building good repour with our Members. I would like to take this time in thanking Ryan for all his hard work and dedication that he has shown in his role, Ryan has proven to be someone that I can rely on when needed.
Nicole came back to work in April this year after having her son Cooper, Nicole has undertaken more duties in her role since she has been back, she is now learning MYOB to do wages when I am away and helps fills shifts along with Merrylin when Toni is off. Nicole has also taken on more admin reasonability. Nicole is a fast learner and great team player, I am extremely proud of her and all she has achieved since becoming a new mum and taking on her new role, Thank you Nicole.
Toni has been with Elba just under a year now; Toni started off as the receptionist and has moved into Roster Clerk, when Jaimee decided to move on from Elba. Toni is doing a fantastic job in her new role and I am extremely proud of how far she has come in such a short time considering how daunting the task at hand was when taking over the role. Toni is very caring and diligent about her role, thank you Toni.
Chiara our ATE driver has proven to be a great asset to Elba, Chiara is a great office allrounder, from picking up the odd admin work to covering members shifts that she has cared for in the past. Chiara has a positive attitude and nothing is ever too much trouble when asked to do something, Thank you Chiara.
Budget
Our accounts remain in good shape we have expended $6,369,442 from State funding to provided Accommodation, Intensive Family Support and Alternative to Employment services to Elba’s members.
Grants
Lotterywest and the Independent Living Centre have once again supported some of our clients for living equipment such as air conditioners, vehicle modifications etc. and our heartfelt gratitude for their continuing support.

Elba Incorporated Annual Report

Membership
2011-2012 with the help of the Disability Services Commission we have a current membership of 84 Clients across the three programs located from the North in Moora to Perth’s southern outskirts of Busselton.
This year has proven to be Elba’s best year to date we have increased in membership and received $1,260,705 more in state funding then last year.
Social Events
Elba organises one main social event per year, that being the Annual General Meeting. Last year the AGM was held at Tompkins on Swan due to the re structure of Elba it was held in
December therefore making the AGM/Christmas party. We had positive feedback and everyone enjoyed themselves.
The Year Ahead
We have achieved and overcome so many hurdles this year which we will continue to do for years to come, none of this would have been possible without the ongoing support that our members have shown us and dedication of the board. I would like to offer my personal thanks to all our members that have stayed true to Elba over the past year and to our board members for all their contributions to the organisation and particularly the support they have provided myself and our office team.
I would also like to take this time to make a special thanks to Ray Bennett for all the countless hours he has put into Elba over the years, words of thanks cannot describe how grateful Elba is for all the advice you have provided over the years.
Stefanie Gaglia …………………………………………………….
Chief Executive Officer

Another financial year has come and gone and once again Elba’s financial situation is very stable
I would like to congratulate our administrative team for the brilliant job that has been done over the past financial year.

Special thanks go to Stefanie Gaglia for the dedication shown in her new role as CEO.
Stefanie has proven again her ability to work under pressure and with an excellent professional approach.

I thank The Disability Services Commission in particular Brett Nurse for his precious assistance throughout the year. Together we share the common goal of helping and assisting people with disabilities, with passion and sincere interest.
I am grateful to our CEO and her administrative staff for their commitment and hard work on our behalf to ensure a firm financial situation maintaining the original ideals and vision of Elba’s first five members.
Finally, I am very happy to present the following financial reports to you.

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the organisation in the preparation of the financial statements.
(a) Income Tax
24
Elba Incorporated Annual Report

The association is exempted from Income Tax under the definition of tax exempt organisations in the Income Tax Assessment Act.
(b) Fixed Assets
The depreciable amounts of all fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives from the date of purchase.
The carrying amount of fixed assets is reviewed annually by the Committee to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount of those assets.
The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of expected net cash flows which will be received from the assets' employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have not been discounted to the present values in determining the recoverable amounts.
(c) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the association’s liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees to balance date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave which will be settled after one year, have been measured at their nominal amount. Other employee entitlements payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those entitlements.
Contributions are made by the association to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred.

ELBA INCORPORATED
Independent Auditor Report to the members of ELBA Incorporated
Scope
The special purpose financial report and committee’s responsibility.
The special purpose financial report comprises the balance sheet, income statement, accompanying notes to the financial statements and the statement of the committee for ELBA
Incorporated for the year ended 30 June 2012.
The committee are responsible for the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the financial report and have determined that the accounting policies used and described in Note
1 to the financial statements which form part of the financial report are consistent with the financial reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporations Act (WA) and are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. This includes responsibility for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and internal controls that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error, and for the accounting policies and accounting estimates inherent in the financial report.
The special purpose financial report has been prepared for distribution to members for the purpose of fulfilling the committee’s financial reporting requirements under the Associations
Incorporations Act (WA). We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the financial report to which it relates to any person other than the members, or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
Audit Approach
We conducted an independent audit in order to express an opinion to the members of the organisation. Our audit was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, in order to provide reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free of material misstatement. The nature of an audit is influenced by factors such as the use of professional judgement, selective testing, the inherent limitations of internal control, and the availability of persuasive rather than conclusive evidence. Therefore, an audit cannot guarantee that all material misstatements have been detected.
We performed procedures to assess whether in all material respects the financial report presents fairly, in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1, so at to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the organisation’s financial position, and of its performance as represented by the results of its operations. These policies do not require the application of all Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia. No opinion is expressed as to whether the accounting policies used and described in Note
Elba Incorporated Annual Report
26

1, are appropriate for the needs of the members.
We formed our audit opinion on the basis of these procedures, which included:
- examining, on a test basis, information to provide evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial report, and
- assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies and disclosures used and the reasonableness of the significant accounting estimates made by the committee.
While we considered the effectiveness of the management’s internal controls over financial reporting when determining the nature and extent of our procedures, our audit was not designed to provide assurance on internal controls.
Independence
In conducting our audit, we followed applicable independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements.
Audit Opinion
In our opinion, the financial report of ELBA Incorporated presents a true and fair view in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1 to the financial statements, of the financial position of ELBA Incorporated as at 30 June 2011 and the results of its operations for the year then ended.

Elba Incorporated Annual Report – 2011/2012

I took on the role of the Receptionist for Elba in September 2010, since then I have gone on maternity leave and returned after having a baby boy. Elba has been very accommodating and supportive and I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with excellent staff. I am the first point of contact for the organization, as my main role is to receive and deal with telephone calls, visitors and members. I have also started doing all round office jobs, creating the new Elba website and learning payroll as a backup for Stefanie.
I am currently studying my Cert 4 in Occupational Health and Safety and a Payroll course to further my skills.
I started working for Elba in late 2011 in the position of Receptionist. Since June I have moved onto the Roster Coordinator and Human Resources role. This role involves coordination of both the Members and Support Workers rosters, Annual and Personal Leave. I interact with
Members to confirm shifts and Support Workers are appropriate, provide upkeep of manual and electronic filing systems and records. I am also responsible for the advertising and recruitment of Support Workers.
Since joining the Elba team I have also completed my Cert IV in Occupational Health and Safety.
I have enjoyed my time at Elba so far and appreciate all the opportunities for growth the organisation has given me.

Field Supervisor’s Annual Report 2012: By Merrylin Trimble
Training:
Continual improvement for our Agency is essential, to this we aim to deliver the best care to assist our Members to live as independently with maximum choices as possible in the community with the support from Elba’s Support Workers.
Elba Incorporated is continually running accredited Certificate 111 in Disability Work this is offered to all our Support Workers, six Support Workers are also doing their Certificate 1V in
Disability Work this year. The classes are delivered on a rolling basis in our Training room at
Elba’s Office in Booragoon and the feedback I received is always very positive from both the
Support Workers and our provider RTO Assist Trainer/Assessor Narelle. It is great to observe the Support Workers enthusiastic participation that brings a vast range of experiences in their group discussions.
As a way to continually improve the service that we deliver to our Members, training is absolutely important to be ongoing and changing to meet all the Members needs and requirements, even though our specialty is in SCI we do have over a dozen different Disabilities that we train our Support Workers to assist their Members with, as our logo states “ Helping
People with Disabilities”.
Safety Corp is booked to deliver a Senior First Aid Course for Elba Support workers; this course is run twice a year at the moment. We train from our Elba Office training room 10 Support
Workers at a time who gain their Senior First Aid Certificates that are valid for 3 years. The feedback is very positive and the demand from other Support Workers and Members will allow us to continue to run the First Aid Course as now it is a part of my training calendar.
Training delivered to our Support Workers:
Elba Workshop is for every new Support Worker delivered by Merrylin
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) delivered by Head Injury Unit from Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) delivered by The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Western Australia
Epilepsy & Diabetic delivered by Merrylin
First Aid delivered by Safety Corp
Certificate 111 & Certificate 1V delivered by RTO Assist

Occupational Health & Safety:
OH&S is a serious part of my job and I believe that everyone has the right to finish their workday in as good health, as they began it and not to be put at risk of a injury.
All Incidents are to be reported to the Member first and then to myself so I can follow up, manage & control the risk. Our Workshop training with our Support Workers does include
OH&S matters pertaining to Community care. Prevention I have found to be the best form of protection of care and this includes Education, OH&S checks of workplace and equipment,
Standard Precautions, Manual Handling and correct manutentions applications also use of PPE.
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE masks & aprons) packs are given to each Support Worker when attending Elba’s Workshop and are available to any Member or Support Worker on request. To this PPE I have taken to purchasing Cartons of boxes of gloves size Med & Large that are available for purchase by our Members, they can be picked up from our office or I can deliver them to our Members home. It is the Members responsibility to provide gloves for their
Support Workers to use.
Mentoring:
Part of my Role is to Mentor our Support Workers, it gives me great satisfaction in seeing our
Support Workers grow in their roles and learning new skills.
Mediation:
I may also be required to mediate between the Member and the Support Workers, being mindful of both of their rights and respectful to both parties as well as their possible cultural differences. My aim is to be fair and reasonable for all concerned while being mindful of everyone’s duty of care.
Field Monitoring:
First Line Supervision is one of the DSC requirements of my role in monitoring the service our
Members receive from Elba and our Support Workers; I enjoy getting out and about in the community and speaking with all of our Members and meeting with their families, listening to what they say and following up on requests.
For this I rely on feedback from our Members and our Support Workers, Support Workers are given a Self-evaluation Performance Review and an Employee Performance Review is done by their Member and myself, if required I will go and do a full observation of a Support Worker while they work in their role as a Support Worker for their full shift or observe them doing part of a shift if this is required. The aim is for our Members to receive the best individual care and for both Member and Support Worker to be comfortable with each other.
Elba Incorporated Annual Report – 2011/2012
34

In Conclusion:
My Role as Elba’s Field Supervisor has given me personal satisfaction; I am aiming for
Continuous Improvements for Elba, Elba’s Members and our Support Workers. As with the extra training that is now permanently implemented for our Support Workers. In order to ensure that the quality of care is being delivered to our members is both efficient and professional I encourage all Members to please feel free to call me with any concerns regarding your Personal Care and its delivery by our Support workers.

Since the last financial year there have been significant changes with the Administration side of the Organization. The role of ATE/Administrative Officer was created through merging two separate roles.
After applying, I was given the opportunity to progress into this position. I am now responsible for the application and monitoring of all 3 funding streams ASF (Accommodation support funding), IFS (Intensive Family Support) and ATE (Alternative to Employment) along with various other administrative duties.
The role so far has been very challenging and rewarding, it has enabled me to utilise and expand on my knowledge and current skill set. Working at Elba Inc. I have completed a
Certificate iv in business and currently work towards completing a Diploma of business.
Most Importantly I have started working very closely with our members and their families, the rapport built with them and the recognition received from Elba Administration staff provides great job satisfaction. I believe Elba Inc.’s future is a very exciting prospect and I feel privileged to be a part of it.
ATE
Elba’s Alternative to Employment Program is running into its third successful year
Due to the continuing growth of our ATE funded membership we have added a 2 nd ATE Van, funded by Disability Services Commission & Lottery West. This has enabled Elba to introduce a casual ATE driver John Dunn to Assist Chiara Offredi with the provision of service for our ATE members. Chiara has taken the initiative to research and establish a much broader menu of activities for our members to participate in. Both John and Chiara have proven to be very valuable members of the team.
The ATE Program helps to promote social participation; increase level of independence, encourage lifelong learning techniques and enhance support networks within and around the community. We are constantly networking with many 3 rd party organisations in the local community to access many activities and programs specifically targeted to meet the objectives of our members.
We pride ourselves on working closely with each individual member enabling us to tailor activities that will help them achieve their goals, within the confines of the ATE Program which is both challenging and rewarding.

 Musical groups

Art groups

Craft activities

Ten Pin Bowling

Currently there are 25 ATE members and as it grows, the future of this program is very bright indeed. We look forward to continuing our interactive involvement with our participating members and the continuing and vital support of the Disability Services Commission.
