We have achieved some great outcomes for members during this time including resolution of issues that were put on hold due to COVID-19 and lockdown protocols. We are getting some positive outcomes and being able to work on outstanding issues to get good results for members,” said Mandy. “I am looking forward to catching up with even more members over the coming weeks and months.
