Corrections has 7,500 staff located
in over 130 sites across the country
who work closely with the wider
justice sector to reduce re-offending
and keep communities safe. In
order to keep the public safe there
is a strong focus on rehabilitation
and ensuring that people leave our
services in better shape than when
they came in.

Corrections Services works to reduce
re-offending by referring offenders
through a number of rehabilitation,
reintegration and employment
