Overview of the reform agenda
Domestic and family violence (DFV) devastates lives, fractures families, and undermines the wellbeing of entire communities.
The Queensland Government is committed to restoring safety where you live and is taking strong action to address DFV.
In May 2026, the government released Safer Families, Safer Communities: A domestic and family violence reform strategy for Queensland (the Strategy).
The vision for the Strategy is:
A Queensland where everyone feels safe in their homes and neighbourhoods, DFV is prevented before it begins, and respectful relationships are the foundation of our communities and connections.
The Strategy focuses on delivering a cohesive response to DFV across government service systems and the wider community. By fostering collaboration and shared responsibility, the Strategy aims to drive meaningful change and create safer homes and communities.
A whole-of-community approach is essential to achieving the societal change needed to prevent and respond to DFV, acknowledging that preventing DFV is everyone's responsibility.
