Corrective Services enables people who are found guilty of offences to achieve socially responsible behaviour thereby reducing re-offending and contributing to a safer society within the family and the community.

Corrective Services Tasmania includes Community Corrections and the Prison Service.  Both of these divisions work to achieve common goals as stated above.

The Parole Board is a statutory body, and operates independently from Corrective Services.  However, Corrective Services does provide secretarial and administrative assistance to the Parole Board.

The Prisons Infrastructure Redevelopment Program, whilst also not part of Corrective Services, is a government program which is of obvious significance to the Prison Service in particular.
