Engender Equality Submission

Submission on Tasmania Police's Response to Allegations of Officer Misconduct, 4 September 2026

This submission considers how organisational culture can influence the identification, reporting and response to serious misconduct involving family and sexual violence.

The submission also examines the adequacy of systems, processes and oversight arrangements for responding to serious misconduct within Tasmania Police, particularly allegations involving family violence, sexual misconduct and abuse of police authority. It makes recommendations to strengthen independence, accountability, victim-survivor safety and confidence in the reporting and investigation of these matters.

RESPECT

We acknowledge, with deep respect the palawa people, the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania/Van Diemen’s Land). The palawa people belong to the oldest continuing culture in the world. They have lived in union with Country for many thousands of years. We express gratitude for their custodianship and stand with palawa people in the declaration that sovereignty remains unceded.

We see gender inequality as both the cause and the context of family violence. Only by actively challenging gender-based oppression can we achieve positive and respectful relationships within healthy, inclusive structures and institutions. This outcome will ultimately benefit the whole Tasmanian community.
