Port Phillip Prison
Port Phillip Prison is the largest maximum-security prison in Victoria with more than 1000 residents, 650 employees and multiple specialist units. As well as ensuring the people in our care are managed in a safe and humane way, we provide employment, health, education and medical services.
We're seeking talented individuals to join our team on fixed-term flexible contracts to facilitate the smooth closure of Port Phillip Prison by 31 December 2025. This is a unique opportunity to be part of something impactful while gaining invaluable experience in a collaborative and supportive team environment.
