People say change is hard, however, It has been much more achievable when we have had the opportunity to engage with Alina and Mel from Holistic Management. HMC were able to coach and mentor us through fundamental changes in our service. We strongly value this partnership and believe Alina and her team invest in their clients to attain maximum effectiveness and develop the skills to achieve sustainable success.

"We have a Holistic Diary and it’s working well. On each day there are sections -educator’s to do/ follow ups, family to do/follow ups, admin to do/follow up. A blank section on the right-hand side of the page for any messages or documentation, then the lower half of the page it has 7 sections for the 7 quality areas where we write down dot points and this is used for the QIP. We fill in a weekly critical reflection sheet on a Friday -what’s working well, what’s not working, educator’s reflection, children’s reflection, does the environment need to change etc. We will continue with these room diaries next year -they work well."

“We engaged with Holistic Management for coaching and mentoring, as our goal was to achieve Exceeding. Depth and documenting reflections were not our strengths, but Mel coached us in documenting reflections and made the cycle a central focus, which greatly strengthened our practices. Every session, she inspired us, and we would walk out ready to kick goals. We implemented so much, especially with our Children’s Council, and developed a Wellbeing Curriculum. In 2025, we underwent A&R and proudly achieved a 7/7 result!"

Holistic QIp - I love having everything in one place. The Evidences Report is great. I found it very helpful for sharing it with other team members and track our progress.

Holistic Management has given us the tools to create a culture of reflection. Our leadership team now takes the time to look at what’s working and where we can improve, not just in our QIP, but also in how we work with educators every day. We’ve learned to listen better and respond more thoughtfully, creating an environment where feedback and reflection are part of our ongoing success.
