The Family and Youth Services Department was established through the amalgamation of the Children's Services Department, Youth Department, Ethnic Affairs Department, Family Services Department, the Queensland Recreation Council, and the Disabled Persons Service. These were consolidated into a single organisational and administrative structure as part of the introduction of a regionalised model of service delivery.
The Family and Youth Services Department was abolished on 14 December 1987 with a further re-organisation of ministerial responsibilities. Ethnic Affairs was amalgamated with the former Community Services Department while Youth Services and the Queensland Recreation Council were moved to the Education Department. The renamed Family Services Department then gained the area of Intellectual Handicap Services from the Health Department.
