Kate Holland – Department for Correctional Services

As Principal Advisor for Women, my work at the Department is to inform strategy and policy for women who come into contact with the criminal justice system and are either in custody or have a community corrections order in South Australia. I work with the women in custody and community, with service providers and other stakeholders, as well as the staff of the Department, to ensure that the work that we do is gender supportive and supports women to move away from the system towards engaged and productive lives in community.
