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

The Defence Force Correctional Establishment accommodates personnel from all military branches, including Navy, Army, and Air Force, with single-person cells for 22 detainees.

Established in January 1989, the facility relocated to Holsworthy Barracks in 1992, replacing the 1st Military Correctional Establishment previously located at Hammondville.

The staff members at this institution carry the title of instructors instead of guards, reflecting the establishment's focus on rehabilitation and correction.

The facility accepts military personnel sentenced to detention periods longer than 14 days and provides specialized training programs for their return to active service.

The establishment introduced a Newfoundland dog named Charlie as both a mascot and rehabilitation companion to support the mental health of detained service members.
