Strategic Plan

Our Strategic plan 2025–29 (PDF, 629 KB) or (DOCX, 243 KB) (the Plan) has been updated to reflect the changes from the Machinery of Government effective 1 November 2024, and 4 April 2025. The Plan provides a strong vision and purpose, clear objectives and strategies and demonstrates how we contribute to the government's objectives for the community. This strategic plan was reviewed in May 2025 and remains current for the reporting period 2025–26, congruent with section 13 of the Agency Planning Requirements (2025).

Our vision is to end domestic, family and sexual violence and improve women’s safety, and to ensure Queensland’s families, women, children, young people, seniors, carers, and people with disability are safe, and are empowered to thrive socially and economically in their communities and cultures.

Our department works to keep women, children, young people and their families safe and connected to their culture and community, and leads systemic change to deliver targeted services and supports which improve the lives of families, seniors, carers and people with disability, and empower communities that are resilient and recover from disasters.

Our agency supports the government's objectives for the community

Safety where you live: Making Queensland safer with stronger laws, better-equipped courts and more police with better tools, while restoring consequences for actions, fixing our Child Safety system, ensuring early intervention and a bigger focus on rehabilitation, giving victims more rights and better support, and taking critical action to arrest skyrocketing rates of domestic and family violence.

A better lifestyle through a stronger economy: Growing our economy to drive down the cost of living and give Queenslanders a better lifestyle and a place to call home, by respecting your money and reinstating the Productivity Commission, growing the economy in our regions, backing small and family business, boosting home ownership, easing pressure on rents, ensuring affordable and reliable energy and public transport, taking care of Queensland’s vital existing and emerging industries, delivering more community housing and homelessness services, and boosting women’s economic security
