I want to thank each and every member for the work they do every day to protect our communities. Prisons play a vital role in protecting the people of Queensland, even if it is not always visible in the community, like other emergency services.
This year, members in Correctional Centres have faced riots, overcrowding, increasing numbers of assaults and an ever changing COVID-19 situation, which has added to an already challenging working environment.
Together Delegates have been on the front line ensuring that vital Work Health and Safety measures are put in place to keep members safe and that members' voices are heard.
The dedication from Delegates in every centre across Queensland is invaluable and every Delegate and member should be congratulated for the work they have done in the challenges of their work environment.
Corrections spans across many professions and workgroups, and we cannot forget the work from members in Community Corrections and support officers in Correctional Facilities.
Thank you for your commitment to keeping Queenslanders safe!
The environment you face is often difficult and the role you play in Community safety is paramount to ensuring appropriate rehabilitation
