Our role in the sector

Creating better outcomes for Queensland’s children and families takes shared effort across all systems and sectors. We are uniquely positioned to bring together diverse voices to address key issues—but meaningful change depends on the attention, input and action of our partners. Collaboration in our work is therefore central to our success.

There is a fundamental truth to the saying, 'it takes a village to raise a child'. Every person has a responsibility to help Queensland children thrive and reach their full potential.  

We know the child and family support sector is a critical part of this village.  

We want the Queensland’s child and family support system to be the best it can be. We’re helping to build a stronger system by:

• growing and developing the organisations delivering services and the people they employ
• creating a positive professional culture in which we can all work together
• improving cultural capability and working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and communities
• advocating for the wellbeing of children and families across Queensland
• working with the sector so we’re better informed about the big issues and what needs changing in the child protection system
• using our knowledge and influence to bring positive change to legislative reviews
• supporting continuous improvement by working with the sector in all of our oversight, evaluation, and research activities.

The Queensland Government has established multiple Commissions of Inquiry into the Child Protection system.
