Report on the Sufficiency of Funding of the Legal Aid Commission of Queensland and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Queensland

This report examines the funding of the Queensland Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and the Legal Aid Commission of Queensland (LAC). It has been prepared pursuant to section 23(c) of the Criminal Justice Act 1989. 

This report provides a detailed analysis of trends in the funding and workload of the two agencies and, where possible, compares Queensland with other jurisdictions. This report also looks at ways in which funding processes and decision-making can be improved and resources utilised more effectively by the agencies concerned. 

This paper was tabled in Parliament on 26 April 1995.
