Queensland Police Scrap Domestic Violence Command Amid Rising Cases​

Brisbane, Australia – The Queensland Police Service will disband its Domestic and Family Violence and Vulnerable Persons Command on 28 February, just a few years after it was established to provide specialist support for victim-survivors across the state. The change follows an internal 100-day review and comes as applications for domestic violence orders and breaches of existing orders remain a major part of police and court workloads.

This MAN TV News report examines what the restructure means for victim safety, including concerns from advocates that coordination between frontline police and domestic violence services may become more fragile, especially in regional areas. The story also highlights the scale of domestic and family violence in Queensland and reminds viewers that support is available through services like DVConnect and 1800RESPECT.
