Cell Visitor Service
Cell Visitors Program aims to stop deaths in custody and reduce the risk of self-harming of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults and young people and children who are detained in watchhouses.
Each of the communities served by the Cell Visitor Program faced challenges in visiting watchhouses with COVID-19 protocols in place to restrict access however our staff were responsible for very positive outcomes in 2020 despite the challenges.
