flag The Queensland government is fast-tracking the creation of a peak body for domestic and family violence, launching it by January 2026—four years ahead of schedule—under the Queensland Domestic Violence Services Network. flag A separate peak body for sexual violence will also be established by mid-2026, funded through the Queensland Sexual Assault Network, to amplify victim-survivor voices in shaping policy and services. flag The move follows recommendations from the Women’s Safety Taskforce and responds to rising victim numbers and service gaps. flag The government is also launching a study on misidentification of perpetrators and implementing new laws, including on-the-spot police protection orders and GPS monitoring for high-risk offenders. flag $1.62 million in funding will support Indigenous-led violence prevention initiatives.
