The decision to reintroduce domestic visits has been deferred to enable us to continue to monitor the risk of COVID-19 in the South Australian community.

The department will be reviewing the decision on Friday 11 December 2020 with a further update to follow.

Video visits will continue to be available for domestic visitors to ensure prisoners can maintain face-to-face contact with their loved ones. Find out more about video visits.

DCS acknowledges the impact that the ongoing uncertainty around the COVID-19 situation has on our prisoners and their loved ones. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to work hard in keeping COVID-19 out of our prisons.

Who does this apply to?

This applies to all domestic visitors:
