At VIVA Mutual, being a not-for-profit organisation isn’t merely about financial structure; it’s fundamentally about our purpose and how we reinvest in our community. We prioritise quality care, empowering our team, and ensuring that every dollar supports our mission directly.
Reinvesting for Quality and Impact
As our Co-Founder Guy Turnbull explains, “Being not-for-profit doesn’t mean we don’t generate profits; it means we reinvest all profits directly back into our services and quality improvement rather than distributing dividends to external shareholders.”
This reinvestment allows us to consistently enhance the quality and safety standards of our services. By prioritising internal investment, we can confidently ensure every client receives exceptional care tailored precisely to their needs.
Valuing Our People
Arthur Mitsioulis, Co-Founder, highlights how critical it is to invest in our team: “Every dollar that comes into VIVA Mutual must be utilised within the organisation, allowing us to pay our staff above award rates and maintain superior standards.”
By providing fair pay and salary sacrifice options, we recognise and reward the incredible dedication of our support workers. This approach results in highly motivated and skilled employees who are proud to deliver exceptional, compassionate care.
Empowering Staff Through Self-Management
David Hill, Operational Lead, emphasises how our unique self-managed team model empowers our staff: “From the moment we first meet our staff members, we empower them to make decisions based on their direct interactions with clients.”
Our support workers spend significant time with clients, quickly becoming deeply knowledgeable about their individual needs. This empowerment allows them to contribute meaningfully to care plans, ensuring practicality and personalisation, and ultimately leading to more effective, client-centred care.
