Policelink - the good, the bad and the ugly ☎️🚨
Policelink is currently the hotline Queenslanders turn to for non-urgent police matters. In many cases the feedback from the community has been quite varied. Some have had good experiences and some have reported they have been left disappointed with the disconnected and clunky system.
Today I asked a Question on Notice of the Police Minister enquiring whether or not he or the Queensland Police Service have any intentions of reviewing the current system.
The full question is below 👇
Q: Many community members have expressed concerns about their experiences with Policelink, citing issues such as long wait times, concerns that their complaints are being dismissed, or receiving little to no follow-up on their reports —
Can the Minister outline if there are any plans to review and improve Policelink’s operations to ensure it delivers better outcomes for the people of Queensland?
Feel free to give us a comment regarding your experience with Policelink.

Bookings are NOW OPEN for the period of 24 July to 31 December 2025. Follow this link below for more information or to make your booking 👇

Nick Dametto MP the new booking system is pretty bad. You can’t see available dates so you just have to keep putting dates in and hope. Would be much better if there was a calendar display which showed where there was space available.
Nick Dametto MP all National Parks booking system is shit all over Australia.

Wow, I didn't know there were any issues. Thankyou for posting. I've rung them twice in the last 12months and no issues.
I've had good experiences. They do what they can with staff and demand.
Used 131444 to report a road related job. Spoke with the operator and they put me through to the district communications centre who were able to dispatch a local crew to respond. I find it works for most of the times I’ve needed to contact police to respond.
