Working for Queensland Health

We’re responsible for the overall management of the public health system in Queensland. We have 16 hospital and health services (HHS) areas and each HHS includes a group of hospitals or health care facilities. Check out our interactive map to see our different hospital and health services areas.

We strongly believe in working with people that value the goals of our organisation and who will thrive in our workplace.
