Queensland will waive police recruit testing fees in a bid to attract more people to the force, with staffing levels under scrutiny.
The state government is making the $215 entry test and $20 physical fitness test free for six months as it tries to fulfil its 2020 election promise to add 2025 new police by 2025.
Police Minister Mark Ryan says targets were met in the first two years but a tight labour market has slowed recruitment in 2022/23.
