About The Team

On 1 July 2024, a machinery-of-government change formally transferred Forensic Science Queensland and its staff from Queensland Health to the Department of Justice. The Forensic Science Queensland Implementation Project Team is focused on deepening Forensic Science Queensland's integration within the Department of Justice and further progressing the transition of pre-existing services and systems from Queensland Health. While the team works closely with Forensic Science Queensland, the Project team is organisationally distinct and forms part of the Department of Justice's Corporate Services division.
