A Healthy Queensland: A snapshot of the Queensland health sector

As one of the largest health systems in the country, Queensland Health operates a diverse range of services, including public hospitals, community health centers, mental health services, and preventive health programs.

Workforce Shortages, burn out, job stress and retention issues create challenges for healthcare professionals, including nurses, doctors, and allied health workers, which affects service delivery.

In this policy briefing we take a snapshot of the Queensland health system.

We look at the overall performance and funding of the health system, including elective surgery wait times, ambulance wait times and access to primary health care.
