This October, as part of Mental Health Month, Justice Health NSW launched a new suite of co-designed mental health resources to help patients in custody better understand and manage their mental wellbeing.

Developed with input from patients with lived experience, Aboriginal workforce representatives and multidisciplinary teams, the resources provide practical information on topics including managing thoughts and feelings in custody, mental wellbeing, and accessing support. 💚

Happy World Pharmacists Day to our pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, assistants and support staff!

At Justice Health NSW, much of the work you do happens behind the scenes. You make sure patients receive their medicines, spot risks early and help clinicians navigate complex situations.

This year’s theme, Empowering pharmacists for healthier futures, reflects the difference you make every day.

Thank you for the skill, care and teamwork you bring to our patients.
