About the Tasmania Prison Service
The Tasmania Prison Service (TPS) provides a safer Tasmania for everyone. The TPS achieves this whilst ensuring a safe environment for those contained within the prison system and provides opportunities for rehabilitation and reintegration fr these offenders.
The TPS operates a number of correctional facilities around the state. These include:
- Risdon Prison Complex
- Ron Barwick Minimum Security Prison
- Mary Hutchinson Women's Prison
- Hayes Prison Farm
- Hobart Reception Centre
- Launceston Reception Centre
The TPS is focused on rehabilitation. Throughout the facilities the service caters for a large number of education programs, sport and recreation and other activities. As a Correctional Officer (CO) you will also be responsible for helping prisoners to integrate back into society upon release from prison. As a CO, you will be part of a system that is keeping Tasmania safe whilst assisting people who are serving sentences, in learning new skills and regaining old skills to contribute to the community.
What could be more satisfying than helping individuals and the community as a whole?
