Building a safe, just and supportive community
The Department of Justice and Attorney-General is the government agency responsible for administering justice in Queensland.
The Honourable Cameron Dick MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Industrial Relations, heads the department as a member of Cabinet and the state’s first law officer.
The Justice portfolio consists of business units, and numerous government and statutory bodies and officers which provide a host of services including:
- administration of the court system
- administration of various tribunals and agencies established to protect Queenslanders’ rights
- community justice services
- provision of legal advice to government
- administration of justice business and executive support services
- support for a fair and equitable industrial relations system, safe work environments and improved electrical safety.
We work together to deliver an open and accessible justice system that protects and supports a fair and stable society based on the rule of law. Our wide and varied services help to build a safe, just and supportive society.
The department delivers diverse services through its courts and tribunals, legal and advocacy services and through a range of community-focussed programs, policies and services.
Queenslanders can access our extensive range of services through our network of courthouses.
Details on the department’s business units and organisational chart can be found at our structure.
