Police are looking to re-focus on what it calls core business, by pulling back from family harm and mental health call-outs.
A briefing to new Police Minister Mark Mitchell, the organisation says it's planning a "managed withdrawal" from certain Policing operations whilst also calling mental health a crisis.
Police said it had been forced to step in when it came to family harm, mental health, and child protection calls due to a lack of other social services.
It's a proposal that has caused concern amongst victim advocates such as Women's Refuge.
