I cannot thank enough Graceades and the workers for giving the opportunities, advice, and experience I have received here. As a student on placement I was allowed to go to meetings, connect with clients, represent the cottage. Not only did I complete all my work place hours but received high distinctions in all my work placement assessments, wowed my TAFE placement visitor with the feedback of my work here given by the manager. - Catherine Felstead   Work Placement Student

As part of completing the Diploma of Community Service Work, I was required to complete 240 hours of work placement. This is where I made a very deliberate choice of going to Graceades Cottage. At Graceades I was able to connect the theory with the practical hands on experience of community development. I honestly can say I have learned a great deal from coming to Graceades Cottage and working with Ivanka and the community. It has helped shape the worker I am and will be in the future and would love to say a big thank you for the hands on experience. - Danielle McFadyen   Work placement Student
