Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation


Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation is an Australian immigration detention centre in the Melbourne suburb of Broadmeadows. It was built on part of the Maygar Barracks site. It is operated by Serco Group under contract to the Australian Border Force.
It initially provided short-term hostel-style accommodation using the former officer's mess when it was constructed in 2008. It has since been extended, including a high-security compound opened in 2018. The high-security compound replaced the Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre which was closed at the end of 2018.
