Historic equal pay deal for women in sport

The Matildas have secured  an equal 24% split of national team revenue generation with the Socceroos. The NSW Government is supporting the bid to host the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023.https://thewomensgame.com/news/the-pay-deal-that-stopped-a-nation-the-incredible-world-reaction-to-matildas-equal-pay-533652

Building personal support teams at scale
Whether elderly or less-abled, if you need home care it can be confusing, expensive and frustrating when trying to find care providers. Thrown into this world as the result of an accident, Dan Hillyer realised that 40% of his funds (personal and Government provided) were going to agencies that sent practitioners who would often not know or understand his needs, Dan and partner Maryanne decided there had to be a better way. From this, TappON was born. Connecting customers that need care to qualified and rated providers, TappON delivers consistent confidence for the customer and provider alike. https://about.tappon.co/
