Community Service Program

HOME CARE MAINTENANCE SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

Interwork is proud to announce our partnership with Comhouse Cooperative through a not-for-profit joint venture to establish a self-sustaining Social Enterprise as part of our services to the community.

Our Home Care Maintenance Social Enterprise will provide training and employment for candidates through the provision of minor home maintenance services to the aged, disadvantaged and people with a disability, who often are unable to afford services of mainstream contractors.

In order to ensure that we are providing a safe and secure service, workers involved in this project will be screened thoroughly and trained in OH&S and minor maintenance skills and be supervised by a qualified and registered tradesperson.
