Tasmania’s Correctional Officers face serious risks every single day they go to work. Here are just some of the key risks they have to deal with:
- Overcrowding: Our state’s prisons are seriously overcrowded and the problem is getting worse.
- Worker Safety: Prisons are understaffed and overworked, putting their safety at risk.
The Community & Public Sector Union is the union for Correctional Officers nationwide. We are more than 13,000+ Officers strong, and growing every day.
Respect the Risk is a campaign to recognise and protect the rights of all Correctional Officers by advocating for a better recognition of the serious risks faced by workers in the state’s prisons.
