Community support
Human Rights Month 2020 (10 November—10 December)
Queensland’s Human Rights Act 2019 respects, protects and promotes the inherent dignity and worth of all human beings, especially the most vulnerable in our community. It requires us to act and make decisions that are compatible with an individual’s human rights.
Stand by us to stop cyberbullying
Young Queenslanders said they want parents and carers to 'Stand by us' to navigate cyberbullying together. Get advice and support.
Find support for domestic and family violence
Queenslanders experiencing or impacted by domestic and family violence can visit the Queensland Government domestic violence online portal as a single point of access for information, services and support.
Connect to the right services

Connecting with foster and kinship carers
If you are a foster or kinship carer, find all you need to know to help you care for, and provide a safe and healthy environment for, a child or young person who is placed with you.
Elder abuse happens. Help is available to make it stop.
During the pandemic, we need to be more alert than ever to elder abuse. If you suspect an older person in your life is being abused, call the Elder Abuse Helpline.
