Women's Safety and Criminal Justice Directors-General Steering Committee

The Women's Safety and Criminal Justice Directors-General Steering Committee (the Steering Committee) is responsible for overseeing the systemic reforms arising from the Taskforce reports Hear her voice - Report One - Addressing coercive control and domestic and family violence in Queensland and Hear her voice - Report Two - Women and girls' experiences across the criminal justice system.

This governing and leadership body 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 DFSV experience better outcomes.

A range of Queensland Government departments are represented in the Steering Committee, including:

• Department of Justice
• Queensland Police Service
• Queensland Corrective Services
• Department of Women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships and Multiculturalism
• Queensland Health
• Queensland Education
• Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety
• Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy
• Queensland Treasury
• Department of the Premier and Cabinet.

In addition to monitoring DFV reforms, the Steering Committee also oversees key reforms to the criminal justice system, including implementation of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap and the Justice Policy Partnership, which aims to address rates of over-incarceration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
