Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee)—WAYS Youth & Family, formally known as Waverley Action for Youth Services, was established at Bondi Beach in 1979. The organization began as a humble, grass roots not‑for‑profit, aiming to offer a safe space for local young people to socialize, engage in organized recreation activities and receive practical assistance to be engaged in education and employment. During its 40 years of serving the local community, WAYS has expanded its services to include: a registered RTO- WAYS Youth Training with completion rates double the national average; a leading, innovative and accredited alternative high school for students in years 9-12 which has generated outstanding success stories; the original WAYS youth center, now including after school care for those aged 9-12; and the WAYS Wellness Centre providing support services to over 400 clients yearly. WAYS has flourished under the leadership of CEO, Russell King. Russell started as a volunteer at WAYS in 1987, and has been the CEO of WAYS since 1989. In 2017 Russell was awarded the Premier's Community Services Award in recognition of his many years of outstanding work. I thank WAYS Youth & Family and Russell King for their continuing efforts and contribution to our community.
