Professional contact visits are resuming within TPS facilities from 14 March 2022.
Visitors must undertake a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) test with a negative outcome prior to being granted entry.
If visitors have not already provided evidence of double vaccination status to the Professional Booking area via email (prison.sdc@justice.tas.gov.au) please do so prior to your next visit, or alternatively provide evidence in person at the Visitor Reception Centre prior to commencement of your visit – you will only be required to present this evidence once.
To assist in this process, the following information is provided:
Rapid Antigen Tests can be obtained from the Visitor Reception Centre at TPS.
A 15 minute wait time is required before presenting your test result.
If your test is positive, please do not attend the gatehouse or VRC following this result.
If you are visiting more than one facility in a day, a sticker may be provided by the gatehouse you first attended allowing access to subsequent facilities.
Bookings can be made via email – prison.sdc@justice.tas.gov.au or by phoning 6165 7400, choosing option 2 for professional visits.
