OH DEER! This #takealookinside Tuesday, we visit Lotus Glen Low Custody Centre to hear from farm officer Tim about how staff are overcoming a wild problem! A fully operational farm run and maintained by low custody prisoners, they've been overrun by feral deer wreaking havoc on fields and crops used to teach prisoners life-long, employable agricultural skills. Enlisting the help of a local farmer, they've come up with a creative and humane way of relocating the deer while educating prisoners on managing the land.

This #takealookinside Tuesday, we head off to Capricornia Correctional Centre to see how low security prisoners have tackled a historic restoration project! The old horse drawn wagon was in a state of disrepair, weathering the elements as it sat behind one of the centre's administration buildings for a number of years. With guidance from QCS trade instructors, the project - and many others like it - has provided prisoners with vital skills to boost employment skills upon reintegration into the community, leading to a reduction in recidivism.

"Mostly I need to thank my team. My team are amazing, and I would never be here today without their support and getting behind me and replicating my passion for what we do." Congratulations to QCS Education Services Manager Tracy Taylor, following her win at the QBANK Everyday Hero Awards event last Friday. Tracy took home the Ownership award, which honours a person who’s demonstrated empowerment and integrity. Tracy was recognised for her work in rehabilitation, specifically the educational partnerships and training programs she implemented to upskill prisoners to improve their transition from prison to employment on release.
The 2024 QBANK Everyday Heroes Awards was a remarkable success, celebrating the outstanding contributions of Queensland’s everyday heroes. Out of 23 incredible finalists, seven exceptional winners were selected across various categories, representing the best in their fields, from frontline emergency service personnel to dedicated community volunteers. Each recipient's selfless efforts and unwavering commitment to making a positive impact in society truly embodied the spirit of the awards. 🎉💫 #QBANK #EDHA #EverydayHeroes #YourPartnerInBanking Queensland Police Service Queensland Fire Department Queensland Ambulance Service Queensland Corrective Services Girl Guides Queensland

#FlashbackFriday: Remember Lotus Glen Correctional Centre's Environmental Management Recycling Program? 🤔🙋 Well, it's been nominated as a finalist in the Waste Innovation and Recycling Awards for most Outstanding WARR (Waste and Resource Recovery) Project, Regional/Rural! 🎉 Celebrated for diverting about 50% of the centre’s waste from landfill, it’s not only Queensland’s largest recycling program in a correctional facility but it’s also providing employable skills to prisoners to increase their opportunities upon release – a win/win! We wish the team all the best in vying for the national award on October 23.
This #takealookinside Tuesday highlights how QCS is helping Keep Australia Beautiful through initiatives like our award-winning Environmental Recycling Program at Lotus Glen Correctional Centre. More than 700kgs of waste is collected and sorted each day, taking 9 skips of landfill down to two. Landfill is reduced, we’re sending every piece of plastic we can off to be repurposed and the work program prisoners are learning about environmental management. It is one of many community-minded programs we are committed to at QCS. Choose a career that makes a difference, visit https://lnkd.in/gqNtpzK
