Woodford Correctional Centre – a focus on rehabilitation and reintegration
The new $628M state-of-the-art youth detention centre will provide education and job-ready skills, with an emphasis on mental health support.
Two 40-bed campuses with shared facilities will enable the rehabilitation and reintegration of young people while improving community safety.
The complex will feature therapeutic design elements such as homely accommodation units, consultation and treatment rooms, multi-purpose spaces for education, skills development and training, areas for physical activity and cultural connection and green spaces.
The project, expected to be completed by 2026, will support hundreds of jobs during construction and offer long-term employment opportunities in the local community of Woodford.
