Recently, the Illawarra Women's TRC team had the pleasure of visiting the build site along with women who have been part of our co-design process.

The TRC's Director of Therapeutic Programs, Wellbeing and Self-Determination, Sam, captured some footage on the day, along with the quotes below from some of the women as they walked through the site.

***

"They actually listened to us. If they hadn't of, I wouldn't have come back. You can tell others feel the same way by how many of us continue to attend and show up."

***
"They incorporated what we spoke about."

***

"This has been a great process. Being able to walk through and see how they have implemented our feedback has been magic. It's given us back agency."

***

"Not knowing a lot about the codesign process, I was sceptical about how much of it was just going to be lip service - but it wasn't like that at all, I really felt listened to and heard."
