We work to empower consumers and sustainably minimise gambling, liquor and consumer related harm.

Our people have a diverse range of technical skills and experience in public policy, law, business, behavioural sciences, academic research and the development of evidence-based solutions. Our team is intelligent, innovative, friendly and has a passion for minimising harm. Using research, community comment and industry input, we provide advice to assist Government to solve complex problems and make balanced decisions in the public interest. Due to our involvement with Cabinet and Parliamentary processes we are predominately located in Brisbane City. However, we recognise our work impacts all of Queensland.

Applications will remain current for 12 months.
