Expression of Interest: Board Directors – Queensland Country Tourism

Lead the Next Chapter of Queensland Country's Tourism Story

Are you ready to help shape the future of one of Australia's most diverse and dynamic tourism regions?

Queensland Country Tourism (QCT) is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from experienced, strategic, and passionate individuals to join our skills-based Board as Non-Executive Directors. This is your chance to play a pivotal leadership role in advancing regional tourism across an extraordinary part of the state, influencing how Queensland Country showcases its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant communities to the world.

Why Join the QCT Board?

As one of 13 Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs) recognised and supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ), QCT represents a vast and vibrant destination that includes:


• Toowoomba

• Somerset


• Southern Downs and Granite Belt


• South Burnett
• Goondiwindi


• Western Downs


• Central Highlands


• Cherbourg


• Woorabinda

Tourism is a powerful economic driver for Queensland Country, with the June 2025 quarter alone seeing $917 million in visitor expenditure (Tourism Research Australia). With the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games on the horizon, the region is set to take centre stage and our Board will help steer this exciting journey.

In 2024, QCT launched a new Destination Management Plan (DMP) and refreshed brand, laying out a clear vision for sustainable tourism growth through to 2032, aligning with and contributing to the state's broader
Destination 2045 strategy
. This is a rare opportunity to influence how Queensland Country contributes to the state's goal of becoming a world leader in sustainable tourism.
