Queensland opens one-stop government services centre in Brisbane

Queensland has opened a one-stop government services centre in Brisbane’s central business district.

The Service Queensland centre brings together services from several government departments and the Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

More than 200 services are available through Service Queensland, with more to be added.

At the centre, people can apply for marriage and death certificates, change their name, seek tattoo licences and enrol to vote.

A website and app offer another way to access services, and the minister said protecting users’ data is a priority.

The Brisbane shop cost about $2 million, and the minister said it opened on time and within budget without job losses.

The government expects its next centre to open in North Queensland, with further locations to be considered through the budget process.
