Reporting a crime.
The Queensland Police service takes all reports of hate crimes, violence and abuse against LGBTIQ+ people very seriously, and needs people to report all incidents of violence or abuse in order to help them do their job..
There are QPS support networks available to help people feel more comfortable when talking to police, including LGBTI Liaison Officers. LGBTI Liaison website.
