Support for Karingal greatly valued
16 August 2010
The support Karingal has received over the last few weeks has been nothing short of remarkable.
The recent media coverage of Karingal and the remuneration of one of our supported employees who works for Kommercial, has been very difficult for all involved. Kommercial is a division of Karingal and an Australian Disability Enterprise.
Since that coverage Karingal has worked hard to communicate with all stakeholders to ensure everyone is aware of the full story.
