Detention Services Contract
Australia's Migration Act 1958 requires non Australian citizens who are unlawfully in Australia be detained and, that unless they are given permission to remain in Australia, they must be removed as soon as practical.
This practice reflects Australia's sovereign right under international law to determine which non-citizens are admitted or permitted to remain in Australia and the conditions under which they may be removed.
Those who are detained include people who are unlawful non-citizens because they have arrived in Australia without a visa, overstayed their visa or had their visa cancelled and they are detained in either an Immigration Detention Centre or in Immigration Residential Housing.
GSL currently manage the day to day operation of both the Detention Centres and the Residential Housing on behalf of the Australian Government and are responsible to ensure the care & well being of the people in detention and to maintain the security & good order.
