📍 Murrumbidgee, NSW

Pathways Murrumbidgee's Wagga Practice Lead, Craig Maxwell, featured in the NSW Department of Communities and Justice's new Circle Sentencing video.

As a proud Wiradjuri man, Craig represents not only Pathways Murrumbidgee, but also his community, bringing cultural knowledge, lived experience and a strong commitment to supporting better outcomes for Aboriginal people in the justice system. His involvement highlights the vital role that Aboriginal Elders and respected community members play in shaping culturally informed, community-led justice.

Craig's valuable work representing Pathways in this statewide campaign is a reflection of the trusted relationships he has built and the difference community-led approaches can make.

📍 Canberra City

Our Civic NSP site hasn't been accessible due to the temporary closure of the City Community Health Centre - but that hasn't stopped the NSP team from delivering services!

For the past week, the team have been distributing equipment and friendly chats from their delivery van in the cold Canberra winter weather from Moore St.

We have so much appreciation for our amazing NSP team for going above and beyond to ensure that clients aren't left without safe supplies 🧡

Coming soon.....a new (indoor) temporary service location! Follow us for updates.
