The Department of Justice and
Community Safety leads the delivery of justice and community safety services to
build a safer, fairer and stronger Victoria.
The Corrections and Justice Services
(CJS) group, within the Department of Justice and Community Safety, plays an
integral role in developing safer and more resilient communities and in
delivering a trusted justice and community safety system.
The group oversees three key
areas: Corrections Victoria is responsible for the direction and management of
Victoria’s adult corrections system and post-sentence scheme. Justice Health
contributes to the health and rehabilitation of youth and adult offenders.
Justice Services work collaboratively with communities and program areas to
deliver effective justice services to meet local needs and priorities. CJS also
oversees the regional delivery of broader justice services for the Department.
Corrections Victoria provides a wide range of program opportunities for
prisoners to assist in their rehabilitation and successful return to the
community after release from custody. The department has been a pioneer in
therapeutic interventions, following the establishment of Forensic Intervention
Services in 2019. Forensic Intervention Services is a specialist program within
Corrections Victoria, and engages offenders who have histories of violent,
sexual, alcohol and other drug-related crime in clinical therapy.
Forensic Intervention Services
is also responsible for Restorative Justice programs involving adults under
sentence for both Corrections Victoria and Justice Services.
The overarching purpose of the
correctional system is to promote community safety through community-based and
custodial supervision of prisoners and offenders through effective management
and services to provide opportunities for rehabilitation and reparation.
We are proud to be considered
industry innovators in custodial and clinical services.
It is the department’s privilege to be a major sponsor of the 10th International Criminal Justice Conference and to share the many
career options available within our workforce.
