Queenslanders now have access to a centralized physical and digital hub for a wide variety of government procedures, following the opening of a new Service Queensland centre on Adelaide Street in Brisbane's CBD. The facility brings together multiple departments, including Transport and Main Roads, the Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety, the Department of Justice, and the Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages. Citizens can handle tasks ranging from marriage and civil partnership certificates to tattoo licences, auctioneer permits, and voter enrollment. Minister for Customer Services Steven Minnikin emphasized that the initiative is designed to offer citizens greater flexibility and modernize how people interact with public administration. Alongside the physical flagship storefront—which cost approximately two million dollars, was completed on time and within budget, and did not result in any job losses—a new Service Queensland website and mobile app have also been launched. Addressing potential concerns regarding digital security, Minnikin assured the public that data protection is a primary focus. He noted that the digital infrastructure is built on the same high-level encryption protocols used for digital driver's licences, which rank among the highest internationally. Following this initial rollout in the capital, the government plans to expand similar service centres through future budget processes, with the next location anticipated in North Queensland. Additionally, the minister commented on recent media reports concerning fraudulent claims for domestic violence victim funding, asserting that the government remains fully committed to supporting legitimate victims while ensuring that those who exploit assistance schemes face strict consequences.
