Tasmania Library and TasTAFE referring people to this site!

lincjailtastafeA couple of weeks ago I visited the State Library to source some information about Willow Court/Royal Derwent Hospital and was delighted to find that they referred me to this website(Willow Court Advocacy Group). They said it was a great site for people studying the history of the hospital throughout time and through the eyes of the patients, families and also the staff.

We have been asked to supply our website to students studying Community Services while incarcerated at Risdon Prison on a local intranet which we have been please to do. It’s been great to have a good quality resource about the hospital history for students who are studying the past practices that the community had to support people living with a disability and/or mental health issues together in one place and in a respectful manner.

We have supplied teaching resources to high schools and guest speakers, often ex-staff and ex-patients to interested groups.

If you have anything to share about the history of Willow Court/Royal Derwent Hospital please contact us HERE, we would love to speak to you about sharing your historic knowledge, artefact, report or picture etc. We are able to professionally interview and present your knowledge and we can create a professional podcast to the highest industry standards.
