Visit Booking

Women in custody at Adelaide Women’s Prison are responsible for booking their own face-to-face and video domestic visits. This includes adding visitors to their visitor list.

Telephone bookings by domestic visitors are not accepted.
Visitors can contact the prison via the general enquiries phone number, if required.

All new visitors must have 100 points of identification upon entry to Adelaide Women’s Prison, and arrive 20 minutes early to be recorded onto biometrics. Visitors are advised to bring the same identification to each visit. Please refer to before going to a visit for entry requirements. Otherwise, entry will not be permitted.

For visitors that cannot enter the metal detector for medical reasons (i.e., metal joint replacement, pacemaker), please bring written evidence of approval from the General Manager and a doctor’s certificate, and show to staff on arrival.
