We can see clearly now, the X-ray's here!

Radiology services have been reestablished at Wellington Correctional Centre after teams from Justice Health NSW, Western NSW Local Health District and Corrective Services NSW worked together to find a smart solution.

A mobile X-ray unit, previously used at Orange Hospital but no longer in use, has been relocated to Wellington Correctional Centre meaning patients can once again access important diagnostic imaging on site.

It might sound simple, but the impact is significant for both the local Orange community and our patients.

It means fewer patients need to leave for imaging, which means less disruption to their care and reduced demand on hospital imaging and emergency department services meaning more capacity for the local community.

It’s a great example of how interagency collaboration can improve the experience for the local communities they serve.

Today, we acknowledge and celebrate the incredible physiotherapists who make a difference to the lives of people across NSW.

Physiotherapy is about much more than movement and rehabilitation and for people in custody, it can be life changing. It can help our patients regain independence and mobility, improve their overall health and wellbeing, and ensure that when they return to their communities, they are healthier and better equipped for the future.

To all our physiotherapists, past and present, thank you for your expertise, compassion, dedication, and commitment to improving lives of our patients.

Congratulations to our Aboriginal Project Officer Chelsie, who received the Early Career Researcher Award at ASHM's Australasian Viral Hepatitis Conference 2026 in Fremantle, on Whadjuk Nyoongar Country.

Chelsie presented her research exploring hepatitis C reinfection and retreatment among Aboriginal people in custody, including work to ensure the voices and experiences of Aboriginal people directly inform future approaches to care.

We are exceptionally proud of Chelsie on this well-deserved recognition and her important contribution to improving the health outcomes of Aboriginal people in custody.

We’re making health information and systems simpler, clearer, and most importantly useful.

Today we’re launching a new world-leading health literacy video for people in custody, designed to help our patients better understand their health, know when and how to ask for help, and feel more confident making decisions about their care.

Because health literacy isn’t about knowing medical jargon.

It’s knowing what to do when something doesn’t feel right. Knowing how to access care. Understanding your medication. Asking questions. Following a treatment plan. And feeling confident enough to speak up about your health.
And importantly, it’s not just the patient’s responsibility.

Health literacy is everyone’s business, patients, health staff, and corrective services staff all have a role to play in making healthcare easier to understand and navigate.

It might only be a two-minute video, but the message is a big one!

When people understand their health, they’re better equipped to make choices that matter for themselves, their families, their mob, and their communities.
