The Commissioner of Corrective Services is a statutory office-holder in the State of New South Wales, Australia, with responsibility for the State's prison, parole and community corrections systems.
This model had been recommended by John Nagle in his royal commission report.
From 2009, the Commissioner served as a deputy secretary within the larger Department of Justice.
From 1 October 2024, the role of Commissioner became treated identically to Commissioners of other frontline agencies, and is appointed directly by the Minister.
Although commissioners have generally been recruited from other professions, both the incumbent and his predecessor began their careers as prison officers.
