The Prisoner Employment Unit is a team of highly dedicated community corrections staff that are responsible for the administration and implementation of the New Employment Opportunities (NEO) Program, a crime prevention initiative of the ACT Government that aims to provide prisoners with the opportunity to engage in meaningful and sustainable paid employment, work experience, vocational training, and education for the purposes of rehabilitation and reintegration into the community.
It also includes the Community Service Work Unit, which operates a number of supervised work crews made up of individuals required by Court Orders to undertake community service activities.
