Domestic violence resources

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is working together with government agencies, non-government organisations, and communities to prevent, disrupt, investigate and respond to domestic and family violence (DFV) in Queensland.

DFV specialists, known as District Domestic and Family Violence Co-ordinators, are located in each police district. They deliver education and training to operational police and work with other government agencies and non-government organisations to address DFV. District Domestic and Family Violence Co-ordinators also develop strategies to address DFV and provide advice and support to the community.

Whether you are a victim survivor of DFV, you suspect someone you know is a victim survivor or perpetrator, or you are a professional working in the field of DFV, there is a wide range of resources and information available to help. We’ve provided links to some of these resources, below.
