Our agency supports the government's objectives for the community

Keeping Queenslanders safe: We strive to deliver continuous services across all regions to ensure the health and wellbeing of our staff, and safety and wellbeing of children, young people, families and communities.

Supporting jobs: We provide funding to non-government service providers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, and work across government agencies to support jobs and job pathways contributing to the diversification of the Queensland economy.

Growing our region: We provide funding to regional non-government service providers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, and work with local governments to welcome and attract people, talent, investment and economic prosperity to regions.

Investing in skills: We fund programs and service initiatives providing skill development and training opportunities to children and young people in our care and in the youth justice system. We work with other agencies to create opportunities for migrants and refugees to fully utilise their skills and experience.

Backing our frontline services: We deliver culturally safe responsive frontline services in child protection and youth justice, and contribute to community safety and wellbeing.

Connecting Queensland: We provide services that improve social outcomes and greater social inclusion for our staff and children, young people, families and communities.

Honouring and embracing our rich and ancient cultural history: We respect self-determination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to safely care for their children and young people. We support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with services that are accessible, culturally respectful and safe to help children, young people and families thrive.
