Movement of inmates at Goulburn Correctional Centre

Movement of inmates at Goulburn Correctional Centre

  29 July 2026

Corrective Services NSW has advised the Prison Officers Vocational Branch Goulburn Subbranch and the Prison Officers Vocational Branch State Executive of its intention to commence re-classification of inmates out of Goulburn Correctional Centre, with 42 inmates scheduled to be escorted out of the centre within the next week.

Goulburn Prison Officers Vocational Branch subbranch has submitted a motion to not assist the Department in the decanting of the Goulburn Correctional Centre Main Gaol units two and three to any other centre including the processing of these inmates via the normal reception-room process.

Public Service Association members will continue normal scheduled court and medical movements. The management team will be responsible for the movement of inmates out of Goulburn Correctional Centre, as described above.

In support of Goulburn, the Prison Officers Vocational Branch State Executive advise that all Public Service Association members are not to participate in any part of the escort process in the relocation of these inmates at the departing or receiving centres for these inmates.

Once all processing has been completed at the receiving centres Public Service Association members will resume business as usual.
