Prior to commencing work at the AMC, all 174 FTE corrective services staff must have undertaken either their induction course or their additional training in preparation for the receipt of prisoners at the AMC. The completion of various training components by individuals is incremental and ongoing.
Part (9)
All 63 graduates of the 10-week induction training course were employed by the ACT Government.
The 63 officers were employed as permanent custodial officers (under probationary arrangements) upon graduation from the induction course. All these officers have been working at the Custodial Officer Grade 1 level in the various existing ACT correctional facilities.
ACT facilities were under staffing pressures due to factors such as natural attrition, with existing officers working extra shifts to address the increased rostering requirements.
