QPS Vulnerable Persons Unit

We support everyone’s right to feel safe and respected and live a life free of violence and abuse.

We were established in March 2021 to deliver sustainable, effective, innovative, and efficient policing strategies and responses. Our goal is to drive the prevention, disruption, response to, and investigation of incidents of domestic and family violence and those involving vulnerable persons.

The Command provides a domestic, family violence, and vulnerable persons lens over QPS systems, training and processes, and drives the implementation of reform recommendations. This will strengthen Service capability to respond to the needs of communities, including victims and those over-represented in the criminal justice system.

The Domestic, Family Violence, and Vulnerable Persons Command is the central point of contact for state-wide, national, international stakeholders for matters pertaining to domestic, family violence, and vulnerable persons. Working together we’ll maximise opportunities to improve understanding and positive outcomes for both vulnerable Queenslanders and those impacted by domestic and family violence to make Queensland the safest state.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic and family violence, report it to police.
