Strategic Plan
Our Strategic Plan 2024-28 Strategic Plan 2023-27 provides strong vision and purpose, clear objectives and strategies and demonstrates how we contribute to the government's objectives for the community .
Our vision is Queensland's children, young people, families, seniors, carers, people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to be safe, empowered in their communities and thrive socially and economically.
Our department works to keep children, young people, and their families safe and connected to their culture and communities and we lead systemic changes to improve the lives of families, seniors, carers and people with disability, as well as delivering targeted services and supports to people with disability.
Our department supports the government's objectives for the community
Good jobs: Good, secure jobs in our traditional and emerging industries
Better services: Deliver even better services right across Queensland
Great lifestyle: Protect and enhance our Queensland lifestyle as we grow
Keeping Queenslanders safe: We strive to deliver continuous services across all regions to ensure the health and wellbeing of our staff, and safety and wellbeing of children, young people, families, seniors, carers and people with disability.
Supporting jobs: We provide funding to non-government service providers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, and work across government agencies to support jobs and job pathways contributing to the diversification of the Queensland economy.
Growing our region: We provide funding to regional non-government service providers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, and work with local governments to welcome and attract people, talent, investment and economic prosperity to regions.
Investing in skills: We work to support the growth of employment in the disability care and support sector through the administration of an efficient disability worker screening system.
Backing our frontline services: We deliver culturally safe responsive frontline services in child protection and disability services, and contribute to carers, seniors and community safety and wellbeing.
Connecting Queensland: We provide services that improve social outcomes and greater social inclusion for our staff and children, young people, families, seniors and people with disability.
Honouring and embracing our rich and ancient cultural history: We respect self-determination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to safely care for their children and young people. We support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with services that are accessible, culturally respectful and safe to help children, young people, families, seniors, carers and people with disability thrive. We acknowledge the past and ongoing impacts of colonisation and commit to actively supporting the Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry.
