Rehabilitation meets resilience 🛠️

Through a partnership with Queensland Corrective Services, low-security prisoners are rolling up their sleeves to help Queensland communities get ready and bounce back following disasters.

From sandbagging ahead of a cyclone to cleaning up after a flood, these work camps show up for our SES and rural fire brigades exactly when they need extra hands.

It's community service that builds skill and contributes to resilience. Everyone wins!
