Congratulations to one of our amazing Compass families for being recipients of the Sunshine Coast Australia Day Senior Citizens Award.

For over three decades, Phil and Di have welcomed more than 200 foster children into their home – many with complex needs – and have adopted 10 children, some with disabilities.

Their unwavering, compassionate care has transformed countless lives and inspired others to step forward.

We're very proud of you Phil and Di, and award so very well deserved ❤
