Our inspection found Rangeview in a state of preparation for its upcoming merger with Banksia Hill Detention Centre. With rising detainee populations, some key areas of the Centre’s performance were starting to slip, such as detainee behaviour management, staffing levels and detainee orientations. It is important for Rangeview to address these issues now as the upheaval of an amalgamation in a time of deteriorating standards will only put detainee and staff welfare further at risk.
