Federation TAFE in correctional facilities
Federation TAFE is contracted to deliver courses in a number of Victorian prisons and post‑sentence facilities.
We believe that everyone should have access to quality education. Training opportunities are especially important for those in correctional settings, because structured learning not only strengthens self‑efficacy, wellbeing and employment prospects, it also helps reduce the risk of reoffending.
Federation University is contracted by Corrections Victoria to deliver VET programs in correctional facilities across the state, including:
- Hopkins Correctional Centre
- Langi Kal Kal Prison
- Barwon Prison
- Marngoneet Correctional Centre
- Karreenga Annexe
- Western Plains Correctional Centre
- Rivergum and Corella Place (post‑sentence facilities).
