Kylie Betts, Northern Support Services

We were six weeks out from an audit and required assistance in getting over the line in the first stage of our ISO and DHS assessment. We contacted ICS and Heather Bienefelt was really flexible and timely in her response. Heather was fantastic. She fitted into our environment really well and was able to assist in terms of working in the disability sector, which is historically a sector that does not fit into the ISO framework. Heather was very knowledgeable and was able to really customise the ISO to fit the organisation. We have now been able to gain accreditation in our sector. NSS has a stronger and more consistent approach to quality, and our people have more knowledge, the key now is to move forward with a continuous improvement approach. ICS have exceeded our expectations in terms of the way that Heather was able to make a complex system fit into our current system and made it specific to the disability sector. Heather was non judgmental in her approach which was particularly helpful in terms of allowing us to develop a good working relationship and to make a positive impact.
