May Month of Engagement (Stakeholder Service Meetings)
2024-05-01 - 2024-05-31
We are committed to hosting regular stakeholder service meetings, every 6 months, across our Home, Community and Work divisions. These meetings allow us to build and maintain strong relationships that ultimately create successful outcomes for the people we support.
Stakeholder service meetings are the perfect opportunity to gather feedback that can help us improve offerings and address people’s concerns. We do this through having genuine conversations with people and following up with any issues that are raised in a timely manner.
For all resources that you will need, and other information, visit the intranet.

Rent and Board May 2024 Price Increase
2024-05-13
From 13 May 2024, rent and board rates increase for people we support living in an Endeavour Foundation house.
Due to new Queensland Government legislation allowing only one increase in rent every 12 months, this will be the only increase in rent for 2024.
This increase affects NDIS and DSOA people (Disability Support for Older Australians) with current Endeavour Foundation rent and board agreements. If someone does not have a rent or board agreement with us, the increase will not apply.
We are contacting everyone affected to inform them of this increase.
New Rent and Board amounts
From 13 May 2024, rent and board rates are:

Rent: $401.02 / fortnight (increase of $33.75 per fortnight)
Board: $524.40 / fortnight (increase of $9.05 per fortnight)

For anyone under the age of 21, rent and board rates are:

Rent: $361.98 / fortnight (increase of $44.07 per fortnight)
Board: $410.35 / fortnight (increase of $22.45 per fortnight)

Direct debits and statements after May 13 date will reflect the new charges.
No one will be out of pocket. Rent and board increases are in line with the disability support pension rates.

What do I need to do?

If payment is made via Centrepay, financial administrators will need make this amendment themselves via myGov or by speaking directly to Centrelink. If you are speaking with families, carers and/or financial administrators in the coming weeks, please check in and let them know this action is required.

There may be a gap in communication for any clients onboarded between 1 May and 31 May 2024. When onboarding people into our accommodation services, please let them know there will be an increase in rent and board on 13 May 2024 in line with the pension rate increases implemented in March 2024.

For any queries regarding this, please contact AR-NDIS@endeavour.com.au

Who to contact?
If you require an updated Endeavour Foundation rent and board agreement, please email properties@endeavour.com.au.
For all other rent and board enquiries, please contact the Finance team via email at
AR-NDIS@endeavour.com.au.
