Justice Health Minister Emma Davidson has not ruled out a royal commission into the Alexander Maconochie Centre, following a recent damning Auditor-General's report. However, the minister wanted to start a dialogue with Indigenous people and was "really positive" changes would be implemented soon.
The report released on Wednesday found prisoners in the ACT's jail with most mental health conditions do not receive adequate treatment due to a shortage of psychologists, with the delivery of mental health services and screenings for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander detainees ineffective.
