Governance is how we organise and prioritise our people and resources to make decisions, create opportunity, manage risk, remain accountable and drive performance to achieve our purpose.

Our governance framework aligns with international standards and legislative requirements to meet our strategic direction, which is to deliver responsive services to Queenslanders and their communities, focused on equity and excellence.

We deliver services in a complex and ever-changing environment. The following 5 process elements form the basis of how we approach and deliver our priorities:

Leadership: Leadership is visible and responsive, making effective and efficient decisions.

Engagement: Stakeholder perspectives shape our strategic direction.

Risk management: Risk is balanced with opportunity to achieve our priorities and objectives.

Evidence: Decisions are informed by data and evidence, to develop fit-for-purpose outcomes.

Trust and transparency: Actions and decisions withstand scrutiny and build confidence.

Everything we do is underpinned by the department's authorising environment, which includes our statutory, whole-of-government, and agency processes and assurance requirements and measures.

Through implementation of effective governance measures and processes, the following outcomes should be achieved:
