Kalgoorlie-Boulder Town Work Camp: prison profile
WA | Operational | Australian Prison Directory
Source-linked profile checked 11 November 2026. Dates and capacities below describe the stated source period, not necessarily today’s available beds or prisoner population.
About this facility
A work camp listed by the WA Department of Justice under Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison. The host prison publishes separate visiting arrangements for the town camp, including weekend and public-holiday visits. Its exact commissioning phase, physical accommodation site and occupied capacity have not been verified.
Classification: Work camp; detailed security classification not separately verified
The WA Department of Justice lists the camp and publishes camp-specific visiting arrangements on its host prison’s page. Commissioning, first prisoner occupation, actual occupancy and capacity have not been independently verified. Operational here means officially listed as current, not a verified occupied-bed count.
Officially listed current work camp; current visitor arrangements published
A separately searchable work-camp profile linked to Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison, not proof of a separately administered prison. Do not count the host and camp capacities twice, and do not infer that all directory-listed camps are occupied.
The live work-camp directory lists six names while retaining introductory text saying five. The 2025–26 inspector report and department map describe the earlier five-camp estate. Different observation periods and the stale directory count are retained rather than treated as proof of six occupied camps.
The page-wide update date is not a verified opening date.
A booking-form link under the camp’s heading led to another prison. That link has been omitted; readers should contact the host prison.
No evidence established that this camp is Eastern Goldfields Unit 5. No Unit 5 capacity, chronology or earlier non-use claim has been transferred to this profile.
Host or associated prison: Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison. See its separately listed profile; capacities may overlap.

Deaths in custody: totals and limitations
No complete facility-level series is established here for suicide, medical or natural causes, homicide, other causes, Aboriginal deaths or combined Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander deaths. Missing data does not mean zero deaths. Selected cases below, where available, are not lifetime or reporting-period totals. “Murder” is a legal conclusion and is not substituted for a source’s classification.
