The Hon. AILEEN MacDONALD (10:07): I move:

That this House:

(a)notes the important work of Success Works Partners Inc., an organisation dedicated to supporting women impacted by the criminal justice system to gain meaningful employment and rebuild their lives;

(b)recognises that behind every criminal record check, there is a woman's untold story, with research showing that:

(i)44 per cent of women impacted by the justice system have experienced domestic violence;

(ii)40 per cent have experienced homelessness; and

(iii)39 per cent are single mothers.

(c)commends Success Works for its programs, including mentoring, job readiness workshops, employer engagement and advocacy which break down barriers to employment and focuses on each woman's potential, not her past;

(d)acknowledges the impact of the organisation's work, with over 264 women supported since 2022, 115 placed in employment and strong partnerships forged with justice-friendly employers across Sydney; and

(e)thanks Success Works for its advocacy and practical support that not only transforms individual lives but also strengthens families, communities and workplaces in New South Wales.

Motion agreed to.
