Company Profile
Correct Care Australasia
Company Overview
Correct Care Australasia (Correct Care) is Australia's largest outsourced correctional healthcare provider. Operating across all of Victoria's 14 publicly managed prisons, Correct Care provides primary healthcare services to in excess of 5,000 prisoners through a diverse and dispersed workforce of approximately 240 healthcare professionals across metropolitan and rural Victoria.
Correctional settings provide a unique opportunity to address a range of health issues and to meet the health needs of a population that is normally hard to reach.
Company History
Correct Care Australasia was first registered in 1997 as Pacific Shores Healthcare (PSH), a subsidiary of Australasian Correctional Management (ACM) and commenced healthcare delivery at nine public prisons in Victoria on 1 January 1998. In 2004 ACM became known as GEO Australia Pty Ltd. PSH continued unchanged until 2011 when it underwent a name change, resulting from a major corporate restructure and change to ‘GEO Care’.
Correct Care Solutions (CCS) acquired GEO Care in 2014, including its Australian operations. GEO Care Australia then became a part of a division of CCS known as Correct Care Recovery Solutions (CCRS). In January 2015, GEO Care Australia changed its name to Correct Care Australasia to reflect this change in ownership.
