New Victims Advocate Service unveiled

We're creating a one-stop-shop to ensure Queenslanders impacted by crime receive targeted, comprehensive support throughout the entire justice process through a new Victims Advocate Service.

The new service, developed in consultation with victims and stakeholders, will launch in late 2026 and will be the first of its kind, delivering tailored support for victims of crime, including a central online hub and 24/7 call centre.

It's part of our plan to make Queensland safer with stronger laws and more support for victims of crime.

Jack’s Law saving lives across Queensland🛡️

We're marking one year since Jack’s Law was made permanent and expanded, giving police the ability to wand for weapons in all public places across Queensland.

These measures mean officers can use handheld metal detectors to scan for deadly weapons before they can be used and intervene before lives are changed forever.

Over the past 12 months:
✅ more than 1,300 dangerous weapons have been seized
✅ more than 170,000 people have been scanned
✅ more than 2,600 people have been charged with more than 5,100 offences.

We’re making Queensland safer through stronger laws and more police equipped with the tools they need to help prevent violent crime before it happens.
