Finance Career: Serco replacement picked

The Federal Government has awarded a $2.3 billion detention contract to the Australian arm of a company linked to controversy in the US.

The Justice and Equity Centre has criticised the state of the Australian detention system, urging systemic reform. 

“Serco has made large profits while contributing to Australia’s failure to uphold its duty of care… We are pleased Serco will no longer profit, but the suffering will continue without sweeping reform,” said Grace Gooley, a senior solicitor.
