About Ravenhall Correctional Centre

Ravenhall is a 1,300-bed medium-security prison for adult sentenced and remand men.



Its contemporary campus-style design reflects four accommodation communities with varying profiles. Community accommodation is complemented by a further 75-bed Forensic Mental Health Unit, a 25-bed unit for prisoners with significant challenging behaviours, and a 25-bed Mission Unit designed to respond intensively and therapeutically to current community issues.

In recognition of the importance of the Continuum of Care, Ravenhall extends its presence into the community by providing ex-prisoners with access to post-release support at GEO’s Community Reintegration Centre.

Ravenhall’s emphasis on offender rehabilitation and reintegration is supported by a significantly resourced team of clinicians who work in partnership with a number of Victoria’s most respected organisations, including Forensicare, YMCA and Kangan Institute. Working collaboratively, Ravenhall seeks to bring about lasting positive change in the lives of prisoners before and after release, with the ultimate aim of reducing reoffending.

About The Opportunity

Clinicians operate as part of a multidisciplinary team that ensures service delivery is prioritised and provided to offenders assessed as presenting with the highest risk and need, consistent with evidence-based rehabilitation and reintegration practice. Clinicians conduct assessments,



identify dynamic risk factors and develop comprehensive case formulations and individualised treatment plans for those accommodated across the Centre including in specialist units. Clinicians at Ravenhall can also facilitate programs with prisoners’ families to increase successful prisoner reintegration and continue to provide necessary support to ex-prisoner’s post-release to reduce their risk of reoffending.

As Clinician you will:

- Undertake assessments including functional behaviour assessment, structured clinical interviews, risk assessments (including for sexual, violent and family violence offending), develop clinical and forensic case formulations and appropriate treatment plans, and write assessment and treatment reports within specified timeframes.
- Provide in-reach to specialist units, delivering responsive assessment and intervention to meet identified clinical, behavioural and reintegration needs.
- Facilitate individual and/or co-facilitate group-based offence specific and offence related programs for prisoners as required.
- Provide short-term intervention for distress and psychological first aid post critical incidents as required.
- Periodically facilitate programs with prisoners’ families at GEO’s Community Reintegration Centre, in liaison with Family Engagement and Throughcare teams.
- Provide post-release maintenance support to those identified as benefiting from continued post-release support to reduce recidivism risk.
- Monitor progress against assessment outcomes, treatment goals and reintegration plans, identifying emerging risks or needs and contributing timely updates to case reviews, behaviour support plans and community reintegration plans.
