Australian Police Senior Officer or .... - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Help or opinions please

The badge below was sent to me as an older Queensland Police Senior Officers hat badge.
The current badge worn by Queensland Police senior officers has the letters QP under the crown, can anyone confirm this please? or is it an Army WO2RQMS?

Anyone knowledgeable in this area please?

Thanks again Mike that seems 'conclusive' for Queensland.

So is it just an RQMS badge?
