Valerie Wong

Community Development Coordinator Project Support

I have two roles at CCS Disability Action; one in Administration which focuses on the Mobility Parking Permit scheme. This scheme enables people with mobility impairments to access and contribute to their communities through designated mobility parking spaces allocated by local councils. Application forms for the permits may be obtained by phoning or calling into our office and we can also issue the permits if you come in with the completed form and payment. This service is available between 9.00am and 4.30 pm weekdays.

My other role is in Community Development, which involves working alongside disabled individuals and local councils to make communities more inclusive. I am a member of the Disability Sector Reference Group established by the Whangarei District Council. The group meets six weekly and provides an advisory role to the district council on matters affecting people with disabilities.

I work Monday to Thursdays, between 9.00am and 2.30 pm.

Paula Malcolm - Wetere

Administration Officer

As the Administrator I am responsible for the development of and operation of administration services in the Whangarei Branch.  I assist with any projects that the team may be working on and I also have a few of my own on the go at all times. 

I work co-operatively with Valerie Wong, responding to queries and processing of Mobility Parking applications. I regularly co-ordinate repairs and maintenance of our Whangarei offices-internally and externally, ensuring an undisrupted work environment.  As a member of our Health and Safety Committee it is also my duty to ensure that we do our best to comply with H&S regulations and compliances. Co-ordination of training within the Northern Region is another one of my varied duties. 

As you can see with a variety of interesting responsibilities my day is never boring!  I am fortunate to work with a fantastic team who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
I work Monday to Friday – 9am to 5pm
