    The worst Managed Government Department I have ever worked for.
    The good thingsPay is good. Car parking is free
    The challengesExtremely poor management. Extreme wastage of public money. Excessive use of Non Government Agencies with little or no outcome. Lack of control over juvenile Detainees. Employment of the wrong staff due to equity requirements.

    Working for juvenile justice ten years ago was great. Had steadily declined and in enjoyment and opportunity and shows little sign of changing
    The good thingsOverall, good people top work with who look after each other
    The challengesPoor work/life balance especially if you have young children. Center management can be ok but upper management won't care about your issues enough to do anything to change the work culture
