Northern Immigration Detention Centre, Immigration detention facility in Coonawarra, Darwin, Australia.
The Northern Immigration Detention Centre in Coonawarra is a facility where people stay while their immigration status is being processed. It has separate areas for housing, medical services, and daily activities for those held there.
The facility was established to house people during their visa processing. A notable incident occurred in 2010 when detainees protested against their detention conditions.
The center functions as part of Australia's immigration system, processing cases of unauthorized arrivals and individuals awaiting visa status determination.
The facility is located in an outer suburb of Darwin and can be reached by public transport. Access is restricted and special permissions are required to visit or enter the premises.
A significant portion of the people held there are foreign fishermen caught in Australian waters. This population makes it a distinct place within Australia's immigration system.
