BACKGROUND
Over the past 11 years, Hale Community Support has continued to evolve within, and adapt to, the ever-changing disability landscape, both in Australia and on a global scale. Since then, the organisation has continued to move from strength to strength as an approved NDIS Provider for disability services.
The logo, as such, seeks to communicate this evolution.
Still stylised by elements of prosperity and growth especially family, the new logo reflects a new era for the agency, one that better represents our core values, what we do, and how we operate. This meant finding an identity that communicated a sense of organisation and professionalism, without sacrificing the perception of friendly, approachable service especially not compromising the central elements of ‘family’, ‘faith’, ‘respect’ and ‘love’.
Whilst reluctant to depart from one of our service beliefs that families provide a setting for personal growth and as an organisation who shares the values of promoting the inclusion of people with disability and safeguarding their interests, we still believe the central elements of a family will dismantle existing barriers so that people with disability can participate fully in their communities, to the advantage of everyone. The old logo had been re-designed as a service improvement that saw us through since its establishment up till now and we couldn’t help feel it was time to modernise our ‘look’, symbolising our move towards a stronger and a more than a good disability provider.
Titled “Zero tolerance of Abuse”, the logo’s colour was thought out to be the most popular colour of 2020; expressing an emphasis on rebirth, reinvention, and reinvigoration especially supporting NDIS colour of purple.
After careful consideration, our Human Resources & Administration team chose a new logo that reflects a more modern look and captures our mission to deliver excellent quality, performance and service support across the services we provide.
We are reliable professionals with years of experience. We listen to our clients and families and work with them to address their needs through a person-centered approach and strengths-based model.
Hale Community Support (HCS/Hale) is a small-medium sized organisation where its employees are calm, honest, dedicated, committed and very supportive to participants and their families and legal guardians. This organisation was not built in an instance or a fortune but very fortunate of the ultimate sacrifices and help from workers and relatives of our employees. As a team, they are gallant and work collaboratively challenging each other to think, articulate and receive clarity about their competencies. They believe that it will serve as a mirror that gives them a glimpse of their strengths and weaknesses.

Hale (means healthy and robust / free from illness). Hale, is short for the word Haleluka, our original location where it all started from.
Hale Community Support (HCS) formerly known as PISA was originally set up in 2009 as a voluntary peer support network that provides assistance to persons who have mental health problems but only from the Pacific Islands cultural background. It was an initiative from a small group of professionals who identified that there was a need to have a pacific island outreach community program providing an equitable, accessible and comprehensive mentoring and care program for the Pacific Island community. In 2013, the organisation opened up other opportunities and extended its service provision to assist families of people with disabilities and communities further. At the same time, a significant change was made to its name and a more community-based program developed as well. With the changes in place, the organisation’s main objective in making changes was to reflect all members of the society accessing our services but recognizing all people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds who are participants of the many different programs we have. Again, these changes allowed our programs and services to reach out to families living in difficult circumstances.
