Corrections Victoria used the Victorian Charter to inform the decision-making process behind establishing Wulgunggo Ngalu Learning Place. Wulgunggo Ngalu is a residential rehabilitation program for Aboriginal men on community corrections orders. A key part of the program protects Aboriginal cultural rights by connecting the men with their culture including through the community elders program. Wulgunggo Ngalu won the International Corrections and Prisons Association Award in 2010.
