Strategic review

A strategic review of the Office of the Queensland Ombudsman (the Office) is required every five years (Ombudsman Act 2001, s 83(2)).

The reviewer is appointed by the Governor-in-Council, with input from the Community Safety and Legal Affairs Committee and the Ombudsman.  

At the end of the review process, the reviewer provides a draft report to the Ombudsman and the relevant Minister, the Attorney-General. The Ombudsman has 21 days to respond to the report.

The reviewer then finalises the report of the strategic review and presents it to the Ombudsman and the Minister. The report must be tabled in parliament by the Minister within three sitting days after receiving it.
