Visits restricted at all Qld prisons
Due to community cases of COVID-19 in Far North Queensland and ongoing contact tracing efforts across the State, the decision has been made to restrict visits to all Queensland prisons.
This decision will be reviewed with Queensland Health as soon as the situation in the community is better understood, and we will reinstate visits as soon as it is safe to do so.
This decision was made after consideration of the vulnerable prisoner group in FNQ and links to regional and remote communities, all of whom are at greater risk from COVID-19 than the general community.
