Southern Queensland Correctional Centre (SQCC) is located in Spring Creek, approximately 17 kms from the township of Gatton in the Lockyer Valley. The centre provides high security secure placement accommodation for sentenced and remand women that are classified as high or low security. Women who enter the criminal justice system often come from lives characterised by sexual, emotional and physical abuse, domestic and family violence, substance addiction and mental health problems.
QCS provides a gender-responsive, trauma-informed approach to managing women with the goal of offering an chance to truly rehabilitate and escape the cycle that led to crime. It is key to recognise that to change a woman is to change a generation.
