Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety

The Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety supports Queensland’s children, families, seniors and people with disability to be safe and thriving in culture, families and communities. We support families, and work to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children, especially those in or leaving care. We support older Queenslanders to lead healthy, productive and socially connected lives, and ensure government policies and programs are age-friendly and inclusive. We ensure the voices of Queenslanders with disability are heard, and that people with disability have access to employment opportunities and are supported to participate fully in their communities. We work with other government and non-government agencies to provide and fund services, and enhance access to services that are responsive, tailored, and respectful, and that have real and positive impacts.
