Staff at Tasmania’s Ashley Youth Detention Centre staged a two-hour strike over unsafe conditions, citing understaffing, violence, and outdated facilities ahead of closure in 2028.
Staff at Tasmania’s Ashley Youth Detention Centre struck for two hours over unsafe conditions, citing understaffing, outdated facilities, and recent violence, including a December escape that injured three workers.
The Health and Community Services Union led the action, demanding better safety measures, staffing, wages, and job protections ahead of the facility’s planned 2028 closure and relocation.
Children were confined to their rooms during the walkout, which renewed scrutiny over the centre’s long-standing issues, including past abuse allegations and international criticism over solitary confinement practices.
