About Fulham Correctional Centre

Fulham Correctional Centre is in Sale, VIC, 200km east of Melbourne.

Fulham has been continually managed by GEO on behalf of Corrections Victoria since opening in 1997. It is Victoria's largest regional Correctional Centre.

Fulham’s primary role is to house up to 947 adult male prisoners safely and securely and progress their sentence plans by delivering a comprehensive range of education, vocational training, reintegration, and offending behaviour programs. Together, these lower a prisoner’s risk of reoffending and increase the likelihood of successful community reintegration.

A key area of Fulham's operations is the Nalu Challenge Community. Located next to the main prison site, Nalu's 68 prisoners benefit from an intensive program of community reparation, leadership/teamwork challenges and preparation for reintegration into the community.

With casual, full time and part time opportunities, the services at Fulham Correctional Centre can be broken down into the following departments:

Custodial Services
The main position within the Operations Department is that of a Correctional Officer. The recruitment process to be selected as a Trainee Correctional Officer includes psychometric testing, an interview, pre-employment medical and reference checks. If successful, you undertake an intensive 8-week, full time training course before graduating as a Correctional Officer. Intakes of Trainee Correctional Officers are completed as required, usually 1-2 times per year.
