A task force will examine women's experiences in dealing with sexual assault and violence within the Queensland justice system.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the review comes amid a national push for systemic change in dealing with the issues more broadly.
She says one in five Queensland women have experienced sexual violence since turning 15 and one in four have been exposed to violence from their partners.
The Women's Safety and Justice Task Force, led by retired justice Margaret McMurdo, was appointed on Thursday.
"We know this experience is different for women than it is for men," Ms Palaszczuk told parliament.
"We also know that women and girls are disproportionally affected as victims of sexual assault but it remains one of the most under-reported types of crimes."
"Only a small proportion of reported cases are prosecuted in court and achieve a conviction.
"Women also face a range of barriers when they seek help, which can draw out the legal process, adding to their trauma."
Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman says the task force will examine barriers contributing to the low reporting of sexual offences and high attrition rate for those who report through formal legal processes.
It will look at whether a stand-alone domestic violence offence needs to be introduced, if attitudinal or cultural change is needed within the system and if training for first responders is needed.
Ms Fentiman says recent high-profile rape allegations - one made by Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins and another, against federal Attorney-General Christian Porter - highlight the need for reform.
"Like so many Queensland women - like so many Australian woman - I am angry, disappointed and frustrated with the events of the last month and about a system that isn't supporting women," Ms Fenitman told parliament.
"Enough is enough."
The taskforce will hand down its recommendations for reform in March.
The state is already looking into make coercive control a crime in Queensland.
Ms McMurdo is also leading that review, which is investigating how to criminalise behaviour such as isolating partners from friends, dictating where they're allowed to go and controlling their finances.
Queensland may become the first state or territory and one of the first jurisdictions in the world to make coercive control a crime.
The task force is due to hand down its recommendations in October.
