About the museum

Welcome to The Interaction Detention Centre.

On this tour, you will learn about the horrible conditions experienced by detainees in the Immigration detention centres run by the Australian Government. Cockatoo Island was the last of these centres, closed in 2020 when the Australian public voted for a new government that thoroughly opposed these policies.

The tour will guide you through the remains of the detention centre, the last of its kind in Australia, and a bleak reminder of the hardships and struggles the detainees endured.
