Reintegration is the process of successfully transitioning offenders to the wider community from the custody of, and/or control by, the Department of Corrections. 'Successfully transitioning' means offenders remain crime-free and settle in the wider community with pro-social, constructive attitudes and behaviours. Reintegration is most successful when offenders take some responsibility or ownership of their needs and have strong community involvement/engagement.

Corrections supports offenders to:

  • find and maintain accommodation
  • work towords having a job on release from prison
  • improve their skills and knowledge through education and training
  • gain basic life skills such as budgeting, parenting and communications
  • obtain positive support to stay crime-free after completing their sentence
  • engage with volunteers who play a key role in establishing and keeping community links and relationships active. 

These are some of the support organisations Corrections works with:
