Our priorities

The government’s direction is informed by the government objectives for the community and commitments made to the people of Queensland during the election and throughout the term of government. The Premier also sets out each Minister’s priorities in a Ministerial Charter letter.

Progress on the delivery of government commitments and priorities is reported in a number of different ways to ensure transparency and accountability.

Government’s objectives for the community

Section 10 of the Financial Accountability Act 2009 (Qld) requires that the government prepares and tables in the Legislative Assembly a statement of the government’s broad objectives for the community.

The objectives for the community reflect the government’s vision for Queensland and outline our plan to build future prosperity and growth across the state.

The objectives are long-term and can only be achieved by everyone involved working together. The objectives are:

Good jobs

Good, secure jobs in our traditional and emerging industries.

• Supporting jobs: Good, secure jobs in more industries to diversify the Queensland economy and build on existing strengths in agriculture, resources and tourism.
• Backing small business: Help small business, the backbone of the state’s economy, thrive in a changing environment.
• Making it for Queensland: Grow manufacturing across traditional and new industries, making new products in new ways and creating new jobs.
• Investing in skills: Ensure Queenslanders have the skills they need to find meaningful jobs and set up pathways for the future.

Better services
