VACRO is assisting Corrections Victoria in moving prison visits online, keeping families connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Corrections Victoria has temporarily suspended in-person prison visits to protect people's health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They've introduced a Personal Video Visits program, to enable people to continue to visit their family members in prison, through a video link to a computer or phone in your home. VACRO is drawing on our expertise in organising video visits for families to provide technical support to this new program.

If you would like to arrange a video visit with a loved one in prison, please visit Corrections Victoria's website.
