Thanks for your understanding!

Today we recognise WOW Day and take the opportunity to thank the incredible State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers who support communities across Queensland and Australia.

Queensland Corrective Services is proud to partner with SES, working together to support disaster response and recovery, with low custody prisoners assisting in preparing sandbags and disaster clean-up.

Thank you to our SES partners for your commitment, resilience and invaluable contribution to keeping our communities safe and for creating meaningful opportunities that helps prisoners give back to make a positive difference in times of need.
