We’re proud to welcome the graduates of ITC 3 and 4, adding 31 new Custody and Transport Officers to our Northern Territory team!
Strengthening the Top End
The month of March marked another period of growth for our operations in the Northern Territory, as we officially welcomed 31 new graduates to the G4S team across two back-to-back graduation ceremonies. With the successful completion of Initial Training Courses (ITC) 3 and 4, our total workforce in the Territory has grown to 105 staff members.
On March 13, we celebrated the ITC 3 Graduation Ceremony, where 16 new Custody and Transport Officer were sworn in. Just one week later, on March 20, another 15 graduates from ITC 4 joined the team. At both events, we were pleased to be joined by Commissioner Matthew Varley and A/Executive Director Rachelle Kain, alongside our own Managing Director for G4S ANZ, Rebecca Power.
During the ceremonies, Rebecca Power emphasised that this growth is about more than just expanding our footprint; it is about the values that define us as an organisation. She noted that our purpose—serving and safeguarding the community—is built upon the core values of integrity, reliability, and care. Rebecca highlighted that as a trusted partner to the Northern Territory Government, our staff play an important role in maintaining a secure and ethical justice system in the Top End. She reminded the graduates that their professionalism and dedication is what allows G4S to deliver high-quality outcomes while ensuring the safety of their colleagues and those in our care.
These new graduates are stepping into critical roles that provide the "outside the wire" support of the Territory’s justice system. Currently, our team deploys 21 staff daily across Darwin Courts and Transport, while 8 staff members, including a Supervisor, manage operations in Alice Springs. Additionally, 9 staff members provide 24/7 coverage at the Darwin Transport & Correctional Centre (DTCC), with 5 on the day shift and 4 maintaining security throughout the night. By handling these essential prisoner escort and custody management duties- including critical medical escorts and hospital bedsits – we allow the NT Department of Corrections and NT Police to redirect their resources to core frontline duties.
Commissioner Varley was clear in his message to our newest officers: the role of a Custody and Transport Officer demands a high level of professionalism and integrity. We look forward to seeing the positive impact our newest team members will have on the community. To our newest colleagues—welcome aboard.
