Family Services Building, Heritage-listed office building in Brisbane City, Australia

The Family Services Building at 171 George Street, Brisbane, is an eight-storey concrete-encased steel frame with brick infill, faced on the George and Elizabeth Street facades with Helidon sandstone on a granite base. Projecting stone cornices divide the street facades into a double-height podium, a five-storey middle section and a top floor with parapet. Banded rustication marks the corner pavilions and podium, and a semicircular pediment on George Street supports a sculpture group of two figures flanking a shield.

Construction of Brisbane's first high-rise government office building began in 1914 and took nearly eight years because of a structural steel shortage. Before completion, the Queensland Labor Government transferred the state bank's business to the Commonwealth Bank on 8 December 1920, so the building was fitted out for the Queensland Government Insurance Office instead. It was fully occupied by mid-1922.

The facades display sculptural details representing commerce and industry, adorned with arched stone features and vertical stone cornices that express the economic importance of government functions. These artistic elements were meant to communicate strength and prosperity to the public.

The building is an operating government office, so the interior is not open to visitors; the sandstone facades, the commerce and industry sculpture and the royal coat of arms on the George-Elizabeth Street corner can be seen from the street. It faces Queens Gardens, which lies to the southwest and is bordered by the Lands Administration Building, the Treasury Building and the Old State Library.

From 1925 to 1926 the roof rooms housed station 4QG, Queensland's first official radio broadcaster, which required large aerials on the roof that stayed up until after 1945. The State Time Station's observing room was also accommodated at roof level.
