By being great role models and looking for ways to engage positively, Corrections Officers have the opportunity to change the lives of offenders and their families. Through teamwork and communication they work collaboratively to achieve the Departments purpose. 

From security officers to office administrators, retail assistants, hospitality staff, builders, electricians, sports coaches, teachers, nurses, ex defence force and long haul drivers to name but a few of the professions our Corrections Officers have come from, we look for a wide range of backgrounds that bring a diverse skill set with them. This career path suits those wanting to put their skills to good use while assisting their community and the people within it.
