Families With Children

It is government policy that children will not be held in immigration detention centres.

While there will be occasions when children will be accommodated in low security facilities within the immigration detention network, such as immigration residential housing, immigration transit accommodation and community detention, the priority will always be that children and their families will be promptly accommodated in community detention.
