Reform governance

The Queensland Government established governance arrangements to provide independent oversight of the past domestic, family and sexual violence reform agenda.

The governance model focused on forging strong relationships with key community, religious, sporting and business leaders invested in the future, and was designed to ensure reform activities occurred when required and remained aligned with desired outcomes.

The model comprised the following entities.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Group

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Group supports the Queensland Government’s commitment to work in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to address the causes, impacts and prevalence of domestic, family and sexual violence.
DFV Prevention Council

The Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Council is guided by the Queensland Government’s domestic and family violence reform agenda and champions and nurtures leadership in primary prevention to drive cultural transformation that shifts the pattern of domestic and family violence and abuse across Queensland.
Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Executive Group

The Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Executive Group was established to strategically lead the whole-of-government implementation of domestic, family and sexual violence reform activities.
Office of the Independent Implementation Supervisor

The Office of the Independent Implementation Supervisor was established to oversee the implementation of the Queensland Government response to the Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce recommendations and the Independent Commission of Inquiry into Queensland Police Service responses to domestic and family violence.
Women's Safety and Criminal Justice Directors-General Steering Committee

The Women's Safety and Criminal Justice Directors-General Steering Committee was established to ensure the Queensland Government response to the Taskforce recommendations was coordinated and delivered in a meaningful way, so victim-survivors and perpetrators of domestic, family and sexual violence experience better outcomes.
