Summary
Staff at youth detention centers across North Queensland and the south-east walked off the job over safety and health concerns, citing severe understaffing that’s led to dangerous conditions—including weekend lockdowns at two facilities. Three out of four southeast centers are over capacity, sparking urgent calls for action, with advocates preparing human rights complaints. Despite the government insisting all centers remained secure and ongoing talks with unions underway, core issues like lack of showers, education, and privacy persist—raising fears that without real change, the crisis will deepen.
