Community
Q.I.T.E. made a donation to Mt Isa Good Shepherd Parish for distribution to families.
Q.I.T.E. is making a direct and economic difference to our communities by investing in Business Enterprises.
These enterprises are established to meet the needs identified within the community, and/or opportunities identified for disadvantaged target groups. Q.I.T.E. has provided funding and on-going subsidies where required, to ensure viable business enterprises can provide opportunities for work experience, skills training, and employment.
