Expressions of interest have opened for people with diverse skills and experience to fill a range of Chair and Member positions in Queensland’s 16 Hospital and Health Boards (HHSs).

Board members are leaders in their local communities and have the opportunity to influence health care delivery in their region.

They have expertise in a range of areas including health management and healthcare, business, finance, human resources, law, primary healthcare and community engagement.

First Nations people, women, young people, people with disabilities and people with expertise in multiculturalism are encouraged to apply.

Queensland’s HHSs report to the Minister for Health, Mental Health and Ambulance Services.

Boards are responsible under the Hospital and Health Boards Act 2011 for local performance of their health service and the delivery of public health services within their communities.

Quotes attributable to the Minister for Health, Mental Health and Ambulance Services and Minister for Women Shannon Fentiman:

“Our diverse and inclusive communities should be reflected in our Hospital and Health Boards.

“This is an excellent opportunity for people who want to have an impact on how health care is provided in their region.

“Our Hospital and Health Services deliver world-class health care to more than five million people right across Queensland.

“By joining the Hospital and Health Board, members will not only help shape how health services are delivered, but also ensure they are meeting the unique needs of their local communities.

“The boards have a range of responsibilities, including governing the HHS, managing its staff and assets, providing services to the community, and working with local stakeholders such as mayors and councillors.

“These roles are intellectually stimulating, challenging and rewarding, and I would encourage anyone who is interested to apply.”
