🌟 Celebrating Employment Success in Port Pirie! 🌟

We are proud to see our Port Pirie client, Brayden Pirie, featured in the May 2026 edition of Hotel SA magazine for his outstanding contribution at the North Star Hotel.

After never having been employed before, Brayden joined the North Star Hotel earlier this year and now works up to 35 hours per week across five days as the hotel's cleaner. His dedication, reliability and strong work ethic have made a lasting impression on the team.

As featured in the article, hotel owner Emma Ramke described Brayden as “the model employee”, saying:
"He’s there well before he has to start. He checks in to see if there is anything we need before he finishes."
The article also highlights the benefits of creating inclusive workplaces:
"It’s a value add to your business, it’s a value add to your staff. And it has untapped potential."

At CBS Inc., we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to demonstrate their strengths in the workplace. Brayden's success is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when employers embrace inclusion and focus on ability.

Congratulations Brayden and thank you to the North Star Hotel team for creating meaningful employment opportunities in our community.

🎉 A Milestone for the Riverland Community 🎉

CBS Inc. is proud to announce the purchase of the Chaffey Community Centre, securing the future of this much-loved community hub for generations to come.

For the past five years, CBS Inc. has proudly managed the Centre, working alongside local residents, community groups, and partners to deliver inclusive programs, support services, community events, and initiatives that make a real difference.

Home to important services such as Foodbank, Kosmos Kitchen, Salvos Bread, and the Riverland Christmas Appeal, the Chaffey Community Centre continues to be a place where people feel welcomed, connected, and supported.

This investment demonstrates our long-term commitment to the Riverland community and creates exciting opportunities to expand services, strengthen community connections, and support more people to achieve their goals through employment, education, NDIS supports, recreation, and community participation.

We would like to thank Renmark Paringa Council for their collaboration and support throughout the management and transition process.

We look forward to continuing to work with the Riverland community to ensure the Chaffey Community Centre remains a vibrant, inclusive, and welcoming space for everyone.

💙 Together, we're building stronger communities and brighter futures.

Beyond participant and HI Project graduate Robbie has been working as a kitchenhand at Glanville Hall since graduating from the HI Project in September.

His role includes food preparation, washing dishes, cleaning, and providing general kitchen support for a range of events, from high teas and baby showers to weddings.

The team at Glanville Hall have made Robbie feel incredibly welcome and supported, helping his confidence grow and enabling him to become a valued member of the team. He now walks to and from work independently and loves putting his feet up after a busy shift with a hot choccy and some biscuits.

Robbie's family says the HI Project opened up a new pathway for his future that he may not have considered otherwise.

We love seeing success stories like Robbie's!
