This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Commissioner’s 100-Day Review of the Queensland Police Service (QPS), conducted between March and June 2025. The review was initiated to assess the organisation’s alignment with its legislative mandate under the Police Service Administration Act 1990 (PSAA), and to provide a roadmap for realigning QPS functions, structures and culture to better support frontline policing and community safety.

The review concludes that the QPS must urgently realign its legislative mandate, operational structures and internal culture to better support its frontline workforce and meet the evolving needs of the Queensland community.

The review has made 65 recommendations across the three review priorities:

• Resource and wellbeing prioritisation
• Attrition and retention
• The outcomes of an organisational assessment.

Key findings

• The review confirmed the QPS has experienced significant mission creep, with officers increasingly tasked with non-core responsibilities.
• The review identified widespread fatigue, burnout and psychological stress among QPS members.
• Attrition has risen to 3.2% in 2024–25, with the highest rates among first year constables and general duties officers.
• The current centralised model of corporate support is Brisbane-centric and disconnected from regional needs.
