Governance arrangements

Our approach for governing the domestic and family violence (DFV) reforms acknowledges that DFV is everyone’s concern.

The Queensland Government has established governance arrangements to provide independent oversight of the DFV reform agenda.

The governance model is focused on forging strong relationships with key community, religious, sporting and business leaders who are invested in the future, and is designed to ensure reform activities occur when they are required and remain aligned with desired outcomes.

The model comprises 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 was established to have oversight of Queensland’s framework for action—Reshaping our approach to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander domestic and family violence.
Domestic and Family Violence 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.
Women's Safety and Criminal Justice Directors-General Steering Committee

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