“It’s a very rewarding job you can bring any skills from any background, any industry…QCS is a large organization with many avenues to follow. This is a new and very exciting career path for me.”

Custodial Officers act as role models to prisoners and encourage them to amend their behaviours to rehabilitate, reintegrate and lead a successful life free of crime.

Case Managers play a crucial role in the rehabilitation and successful reintegration of offenders who require supervision within the community by order of a court or Parole Board Queensland.
