A part of the University of South Australia, the Hawke Research Institute (named after Bob Hawke)…read moreis a significant facility looking at the way work and life, education and literacy, conflict management, equity, gender, child protection, post colonial studies, religion and social policy can be developed in positive ways in our multi cultural society. The Institute has a clear vision for an inclusive and just society which is somewhat ironic given it is rather isolated from the rest of the Uni SA here in Underdale. Being in Adelaide they see themselves as positioned in "the heart of the nation", which is also a rather strange way to identify given the great isolation involved in being in a community so far from the East coast where social justice issues are taken far more seriously and are dealt with in an arguably more transparent way. Social science research programs dedicated to building a sustainability and vibrancy are a little lost in their own rhetoric if you ask me. They are involved in pushing 'Mandatory Reporting' and Child Protection, a couple of areas that sound great on paper but have horrendous historical failures in South Australia so as much as I'd love to say they do great work, I fear they are a little questionable on that score card.

Following a bad experience with a female driving instructor where we were $720 out of pocket and…read moreour daughter had her confidence completely eroded, we booked a lesson with 'Learn to Pass'. After the first lesson with Ian, our daughters confidence improved dramatically. He was punctual, professional and reasonably priced. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I first discovered this business through one of those group-buying voucher deals. I'm glad I did as…read moreI've been very happy with the staff and service. The salon has a relaxed vibe and as it also operates as a learning institute (for would-be beauticians), there is usually some training happening at the nail stations. As a note they're usually looking for test-dummies for various therapies (if you're feeling brave). I get treated by Nat who does IPL therapy on my face for me. This involves being blindfolded (to avoid the bright light), having cold gel smeared all over your skin, then having laser flashes that are warm and not painful, but slightly uncomfortable. Believe me, you want to know you're in good hands when you're bereft of the gift of sight and with someone wielding a "laser" next to your head. In a nutshell - it's not just nails!

an absolute disgrace! completely unprofessional. after sitting there for 4 hours, came out with…read moreworse nails than what i started with. they provided inadequate training to the student before letting her loose on me, and did not warn me that it was only her 2nd day. had to ask them to undo everything that had been done and left with awful stubby nails and bleeding cuticles. do not go anywhere near this place!
