About Ravenhall Correctional Centre

Ravenhall is Victoria’s largest, medium security prison for adult sentenced and unsentenced males. Its contemporary campus-style design provides a safe and humane environment that enables and nurtures GEOs Continuum of Care operating philosophy.

Ravenhall also has a dedicated Forensic Mental Health Unit and a specialised Closed Supervision Unit for prisoners with significant challenging behaviours. In recognition of the importance of Continuum of Care, Ravenhall extends its presence into the community by providing ex people in our care with access to post-release support at GEO’s Community Reintegration Centre.

With a key focus on prisoners with complex and mental health needs, they have significant opportunities to engage in work, education, programs and services, through an evidence-based approach to reduce re-offending.

Through investment in opportunities for people in our care to engage in work, education and programs, prisoners are not only held safely and securely but given every chance to turn their lives around. Issues behind much of the crime in our communities – such as violent attitudes, anti-social behaviours and the abuse of drugs and alcohol – are addressed through innovative programs and interventions. At the same time helping the people in our care with day-to-day challenges such as gaining and holding down employment and finding a suitable place to live also help prevent a return to crime.

Ravenhall’s unprecedented emphasis on offender rehabilitation and reintegration is evidenced through collaborative and integrated relationships with key Alliance service partners including Forensicare, GEO Health Car Plus, The Y, Honeywell and Bendigo Kangan Institute of Tafe. Together, Ravenhall provides an integrated service system that collaboratively brings about lasting positive change in the lives of the men in our care pre- and post-release. Through these partnerships the objective of Safer Victorian Communities is achieved.
