Andrew Bailey was 13 when he became involved in gangs. Drug deals, assaults and malicious damage quickly became a part of his everyday life until one day, in November 2008, Andrew found himself in a holding cell at Parramatta Children’s court. This is when he realised that he wanted a different kind of life.

After getting out of the gangs and weaning himself off drugs, Andrew was approached by John Harris from Oasis to join the Get Skilled For Work program. Andrew has now been working for eight months and is looking forward to moving up the ranks.
