We’re incredibly proud and beyond excited to announce a monumental milestone in our journey:
CHW_Empower has officially launched in Australia, marking our first international expansion outside of the UK.
Australia’s largest prison, Clarence Correctional Centre in New South Wales, has become the first establishment in the country to implement CHW_Empower, the world’s first and only holistic, digital, in-cell health and wellbeing platform.
This groundbreaking step not only reinforces our mission but also sets a new global benchmark for correctional health, rehabilitation, and innovation in custodial care.
But this achievement is more than just a geographical expansion — it’s a testament to the power of belief, innovation, and purpose-driven collaboration. We’re deeply grateful to the visionary leaders and partners who have placed their trust in us to deliver meaningful change.
Being described recently as “Global Best Practice” is an honour that fills us with immense pride and fuels our commitment to continue making a difference where it matters most.
As someone who began this journey as a PE Officer in the UK Prison Service, I could never have imagined leading a company that’s now making a global impact. This moment isn’t just personal — it’s a celebration of what’s possible when passion meets purpose.
At CHW, our deep-rooted understanding of the prison environment, combined with an unwavering drive for innovation and excellence, places us at the forefront of transformative change in custodial wellbeing. We’re not just delivering a platform; we’re redefining the future of rehabilitation and recovery.
And this… this is just the beginning.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who continues to believe in our mission and helps us grow, innovate, and create real impact — across the UK, and now, across the world.
