"To undertake a community project which otherwise would not have been possible is an achievement. Prisoners gain skills, confidence and a feeling of self-worth, through access to a wide range of courses. Congratulations on a wonderful long-term partnership benefitting all participants and the broader community" Community Work Partnership Awards.

"The commitment of the health service and the corporate body to health promotion is outstanding. By the time of the next survey this organisation may be well positioned with outcome data to present itself as an exemplar of health promotion best practice in the correctional environment" Australian Council on Healthcare Standards.
