After hours

We will do our best to help with after hours questions but it is not always possible to provide information or spokespeople outside of business hours, particularly during weekends or public holidays.

Follow us on Facebook and on Twitter.

Corrections’ number of press releases in 2020/21 and for the previous four financial years is below. Over the past few years, our focus has moved from issuing formal press releases to arranging visits to sites for media, providing interviews with staff, and creating and distributing digital content through social media and on our website.
