I am writing to let you know that Sian Adams has been working with me prior to Christmas to assist me in gaining employment, she has been responsible for me having a number of interviews, has encouraged and given me confidence in seeking work. I am so immensely grateful for all her kind and generous support. I have finally found a position through the direct support and work of Sian. Sian has continually gone above and beyond in her effort to encourage and support me and has located me some very interesting and appropriate jobs to apply for. I needed to let you know just how wonderful Sian has been as I am a strong believer in acknowledging the efforts of people who genuinely work very hard at their job to get it right, and in Sian's case her had work has resulted in me getting the perfect job. Thank you Sian.
Toni Solomon, Case Manager
I'm a successful job seeker thanks to the help I've received from one of Sugarman's representatives. I want to leave some positive feedback to your agency and a special thanks to Julianna Carey for helping me along the way. Julianna was quick to get back to me after I sent in an job application, she was knowledgeable about the job advertised, she always kept in close contact if I needed, she was able to set up an interview time that suited my schedule, she gave me helpful tips before the interview and went out of her way to check up on me the day of the interview. It's been a pleasure to work with Julianna. This truly helped my application process.

All service users have provided great feedback regarding the support workers
Emma NDIS Support Coordinator
I work as a support coordinator and have used Sugarman Australia a number of times for participants on the NDIS. One particular situation has had an enormous impact on the family involved. This participant is a compulsive buyer and had cluttered his house with unused items. He could not move around his home easily due to the shear volume of items. His dining room and living room were unusable. He was very nervous about someone coming to assist him with clearing his home. His support worker has managed in a very short amount of time to assist him to sell or donate all unused items. His home now looks amazing and every room is usable. This participants elderly mother refused to go to the house as it made her ‘feel unwell’. She now says ‘it makes my heart sing’ when she visits. This was a tricky situation as the participant had been working with a social worker for years to get to the point of allowing someone in to support him. The worker gave the participant the support he needed to continue every week to clear his home. Progress has been amazing and it is ongoing every week

"I have been working with Vivianne at the Sugarman Australia for the past eight months. Vivianne researches and provides me with Locum GP’s for our very busy Health Organisation. Vivianne understands that with our five remote clinics our clients are indigenous and that there are language barriers and that the care required for our clients is quite unique. I have always found that Vivianne has the foresight to find the right GP to fit with us and our clients. Personally I find Vivianne exceptionally easy to work with as she always operates in a professional manner and I love her promptness. I would totally recommend that if you need someone to make your life easier looking for GP’s that Vivianne is the person you are looking for."

“I have found Sugarman and in particular Janine to be proactive in promoting their service and flexible in regards to developing the current service agreement with our organisation. Sugarman have been a welcome relief to me as an agency of first choice when it comes to finding support either regular or in an emergency.I have called on their service numerous times and I find them extremely responsive and very efficient in regards to getting back to me at very short notice any time 7 days per week. They are quick to take on board any feedback , positive or negative and are swift to respond to the members that I support. They appear to be very skilled at matching their staff to my member’s needs. Some of these needs are very high in regards to support and understanding of their individual needs. I was using another very large and well known agency previously but there is no comparison as to the service my members have received to date. I also find they are very proficient with their invoicing and record keeping which also makes my work a lot easier to keep on top of. I have no hesitation in recommending Sugarman as a preferred supplier of staff as agency support.”
