Structure of NHW in Queensland

The structure of NHW Queensland has been developed to ensure that communities are engaged and are working collaboratively with the police and all other partners. This structure encourages:

• increased community participation and ownership
• effective communication channels between all NHW partners
• problem solving by the community at the local level
• partnerships between local NHW groups, local police and other local community groups and organisations
• flexibility for police regions to support NHW locally and
• coordinated and strategic planning at a state level.

The diagram below is a visual example of the structure of NHW in Queensland. Information about the specific roles and responsibilities within your community are available by contacting your local police station or local NHWQ group.

Subject to the endorsement of all key NHWQ stakeholders and to ensure NHWQ meets the challenges of change in the community, this NHWQ Structure may change.
