Custodial Facility Changes at Justice Health

Custodial Facility Changes at Justice Health

Monday 23 March, 2026

Dear member,
 
Justice Health has advised the HSU of likely impending changes as a result of a Corrective Services NSW announcement of several reforms under the Prison Bed Effectiveness Program.  This is your opportunity to have a say on how this affects you.
  • Justice Health notes that very little information is available at this stage, but it is very likely a number of positions will be considered impacted across affected sites.
  • The reforms include the future closure of four Victorian-era wings at Goulburn Correctional Centre, and the transition of Silverwater Women’s Correctional Centre into a 30-bed female transit centre.
  • The network has advised it will be setting up a joint working group with Corrective Services NSW and provide the HSU with timely and regular updates as changes become clearer.
For more information, see the below links:
It is important for union members to lead this discussion.
