The organisation’s achievements are Tony handed over a very effective and professionally run operation. a testament to the staff’s dedication Chris has since picked up where Tony left off.

As RESQ Plus’s newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, I must say that I am honoured to have been chosen for the role ahead of many other talented people. On a more personal level, it is great to be able to return to the bush after so many years away, working in “the big smoke”. I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the outstanding achievements of my predecessor Tony Rayner in establishing the business in 2013 and his work as its custodian for the past six and a half years. Tony decided to step aside to concentrate on his bid for Mayor of the Longreach Regional Council. I am pleased to say that Tony was successful and is now busier than ever in his new role. Congratulations Tony! We thank you for what you have done during your time at RESQ and RESQ Plus and we wish you every success in your new role. There is no doubt that the key topic of conversation for 2020 is COVID-19 and the impact that the raft of restrictions has had on individuals, families Congratulations Tony! We and businesses. While the virus has significantly affected the lives of many, thank you for what you have we should not forget that here in western Queensland, COVID-19 has exacerbated the impact of pre-existing tough economic conditions. done during your time at The drought has not eased in most areas. Those businesses that were RESQ and RESQ Plus and struggling continue to do so and now, due to the lack of a tourist season, more businesses find themselves in difficulties through no fault of their own. we wish you every success However, it is not all doom and gloom. We know that a strong and in your new role diversified economy relies upon a sustainable supply of skilled and unskilled workers. Jobs and employment matter. When a good supply of workers is combined with high levels of community support, it is possible to create profitable and sustainable regional businesses. As the regions focus on the post-COVID-19 human, social and economic recovery efforts, the role that RESQ Plus plays in assisting this recovery becomes increasingly important. The RESQ Plus team are a group of client- focused professionals who have a detailed understanding of job seekers’ aspirations, goals and barriers. They thrive on the challenges of working with their clients, and they take great satisfaction in placing people into paid employment and watching their lives change for the better. Combining the collective experience of RESQ Plus, our Indigenous partners, Central West Aboriginal Corporation and The MaraWay with our strong and well-developed community partnerships, we have created a variety of work experiences that are healthy, socially responsible and culturally rewarding. All our activities are designed to get people working again. Our programs assist those seeking work to gain the skills, confidence and the right attitude to see them enter or re-enter the workforce. Quality post- placement support then helps them stay in employment and identifies any Tony Rayner (left) hands over the reins to new RESQ additional training required to help them grow in their role.

  • Melanie-Hava-Bio-1
    Melanie Hava Aboriginal name: "Winden" - green pigeon I am blessed to have been born into interesting and diverse cultures: my father comes from the oldest city in Austria, Enns (Upper Austria) and my mother is from one of the oldest cultures in the world, Aboriginal people of Australia. While celebrating my Austrian heritage, I also identify through my Mum's line as a Mamu Aboriginal woman, Dugul-barra and Wari-barra family groups, from the Johnstone River catchment of the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland and the adjoining Great Barrier Reef sea country. Reef and rainforest country are important sources for my inspirations. I have known from a very young age that I was going to be an artist. While also being a bookworm and a piano player, art was a world that I frequently retreated into as I grew up. I reckon this is because I was deaf and felt I couldn't join in with groups of people. As a teen and along with my sister Joelene, we created art on didgeridoos and canvas. This art sold very quickly in the little, opal mining outback town of Yowah way out back of western Queensland. This red soil country still influences my works. When I was in my late teens/early twenties, I started playing around with the ideas of combining my Aboriginal and Austrian inspirations. I had already tried my style in Aboriginal, Folk and Abstract arts and I had had a successful first exhibition at Outback at Isa Gallery. So at 23 I travelled to Austria to live with my father's family and absorb as much as I could of the Folk and European culture.

  • Toowoomba Railway Roll of Honour Board 1914-19
    Toowoomba Railway Roll of Honour Board 1914-19 Dedication This research is dedicate to all those who are recorded on the roll of honour board but especially to 425 Pte David McCarthy, 9th Bn, killed in action on 25th April 1915. Introduction This research was started after a visit to Toowoomba station in July 2015 and discovering that the 559 names on the impressive roll of honour board appeared not to have been identified or, if this work has been done, was not readily available. The aim of this initial research was to get basic details of those men listed; it is not intended to be a comprehensive account of the soldiers on the roll of honour board or railways in the Darling Downs region. Sources used included records held by the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, and the National Archives of Australia. Consequently, there may well be errors and conflicting detail; the entries for each man are headline information only – anyone wishing to drill deeper should consult sources such as the soldiers’ personal papers, newspapers, unit war diaries and histories etc. In some instances, the ‘identified’ soldier may prove to be incorrect but at this stage the most likely identification is listed; details generally have been used verbatim from sources. One hindrance was ‘occupation’ as many do not have an obvious railway trade; it is possible that some had other jobs in addition to their railway employment. A line was drawn under this work in late 2016 still with eighteen names unidentified despite trying various sources. Most of the other names were identified with a good degree of confidence but readers are invited to take this work and refine it further.
