About the opportunity

Queensland Health delivers healthcare to over 5 million people – making healthcare accessible where and when Queenslanders need it. In 2025–26, the Queensland Government is investing a record $33.1 billion into the Queensland Health system, reflecting the priority placed on delivering high-quality, accessible healthcare across the state.
