Notes:
1) Due to the classification changes the numbers of prisoners employment as a percentage of those eligible to
work decreased and more prisoners worked internally.
2) Increased community engagement combined with proactive marketing in regional areas has seen an increase in
sales and contracted work. As an example, partnering with Batchelor Institute resulted in a contract to deliver
cabinetry.
3) Due to the classification changes more prisoners worked internally.
4) The number of prisoners employed subject to eligibility.
5) Due to prisoners moving into paid employment the voluntary employment numbers dropped.
