JAG’s organisational structure
JAG’s organisational structure aligns the department’s key business functions to improve accountability, focus and the delivery of quality services. The structure provides all staff with clear direction and minimises duplication of services while maximising service delivery to the community.JAG’s structure has four key business areas:
Policy, legislation and executive services provides policy advice to the Minister, the Director-General, other state government departments and Commonwealth agencies about all areas for which the Minister and department are responsible.
Business support, oversees the day-to-day operations of the department providing advice on financial services, organisational capability, marketing and corporate communication and property services.
Justice administration works through the courts, community justice groups and regional service centres to deliver high quality services to the public.
Legal services provides the department with legal support and advice. This area also handles applications for criminal injury compensation and freedom of information.
All units work together and with the community to achieve an open and accessible justice system that protects and supports a fair and stable society based on the rule of law.
A number of statuary bodies with a whole of government focus also come under the department’s structure. These bodies carry out important public duties and it is important they maintain their independence. They include (but are not limited to):
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is an independent statutory office which acts on the community’s behalf to prosecute people charged with serious criminal offences in Queensland.
Crown Law is the principal legal provider to the Queensland State Government.
