Security firm Serco runs the sole private prison in Western Australia (WA) for the State Government. A deal was agreed on with the aid of the Community & Public Sector Union / Civil Service Association in 2006, under which the 220-plus staff at the Acacia facility receive the same pay as government officers. This means a wage rise of a minimum 4.25% in 2015, while those of police and other emergency services personnel are limited to the CPI of 2.75%. The WA Prison Officers Union now covers the Serco employees, and says the parity clause is crucial to keeping staff retention levels high
