Description

It allows for the attainment of competencies to work effectively with people in immigration detention to ensure their safety and security.
This qualification is part of the CSC Corrections Training Package. When contextualising corrections units for use in this qualification, it is not appropriate to refer to people in immigration detention as offenders because immigration detention is strictly administrative, not punitive.
Statutory/legislative requirements apply to this qualification and may vary across states and territories. Individuals must be employed by the Commonwealth or the service provider to provide Immigration Detention services. Users are required to check with the relevant jurisdiction for current requirements.
