Defence Force Correctional Establishment, Military correctional facility in Greater Western Sydney, Australia

The Defence Force Correctional Establishment is a fenced compound inside Holsworthy Barracks, with a single paved runway running diagonally across the site and rows of long, low rectangular buildings with pale roofs grouped to its right, surrounded by dense forest. Its purpose-built complex, opened in 1992, has two wings of 13 single-person cells each, a maximum capacity of 22, plus a library, classroom and outdoor gym.

This establishment was created in January 1989 and moved to Holsworthy Barracks in 1992. It replaced the 1st Military Correctional Establishment that had previously operated at Hammondville.

Staff at the facility are designated "instructors" rather than "guards", reflecting the rehabilitation emphasis described in Air Force as continuing a long Australian military tradition of rehabilitation over punishment. Detainees can earn minor privileges through good behaviour and take part in supervised charity projects away from Holsworthy.

The facility accepts military personnel sentenced to detention periods exceeding 14 days. Visitors should know this is a specialized military detention center with restricted public access.

In October 2013 the DFCE received a Newfoundland dog named Charlie, intended as the first of a line serving as mascot and rehabilitation animal. Charlie has a specifically trained handler and, though elderly, was reported in good health in 2020.
