In June 2022 a Grounds Maintenance Business contacted the Alexander Maconochie Centre to see if a “Work Crew” could be facilitated for their business. The business will employ two detainees from the Transitional Release Centre commencing on 17 November 2022, on a casual basis for two days per week to start.

the space.
