Free transport is provided to all Qld prisons. When you book your visit at the Centre ask the visit staff for contact details about the free transport service for that Centre. Tell the
staff you need to catch the free bus. They should book your visit to fit in with our transport service so do tell them you need to use our bus.
PTG advice and support: It is not easy to visit at a Correctional Centre. There are many rules and processes you must abide by. We can advise you on how to manage this. Tals to us about it when you book your seat with us.
