• embedding drug and alcohol interventions for people on remand resulting in more timely and targeted health interventions for those in crisis
• being awarded a $500k Government grant to continue our world-leading research into improving health literacy in prisons
• delivering large-scale testing and vaccination programs to prevent and treat communicable diseases such as influenza and hepatitis C
• delivering our most successful and largest Health Care in Secure Settings conference to date.
