The Justice Reform Office (JRO) is a new, permanent office tasked with leading reform of Queensland's criminal justice system. The JRO develops, tests and implements initiatives to reform the criminal justice system.

We also provide support to the Independent Ministerial Advisory Council (IMAC).

The IMAC was created to provide government with advice, guidance and the perspective of victims on how we can reform the criminal justice system and provide support for victims, particularly in relation to youth crime.
