About us
In March 2021 the Queensland Government established the independent Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce—chaired by the Honourable Margaret McMurdo AC—to examine coercive control and review the need for a specific offence of ‘commit domestic violence’ and the experience of women across the criminal justice system.
In both of its reports, the Women's Safety and Justice Taskforce recommended the Queensland Government establish an Independent Implementation Supervisor (IIS) to oversee implementation of the Queensland Government Response.
The Office of the Independent Implementation Supervisor (OIIS) has been established to support the IIS to oversee the implementation of the Queensland Government response to the Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce recommendations and the Independent Commission of Inquiry into Queensland Police Service responses to domestic and family violence.
The IIS is responsible for overseeing and reporting bi-annually on:
- the progress of the implementation of the Women's Safety and Justice Taskforce recommendations and the achievement of systemic outcomes
- the adequacy of implementation
- what further measures may be required to ensure the recommendations supported by the Queensland Government are implemented fully within the specified timeframes.
