The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the vulnerability of healthcare and other essential supply chains to major disruptions. In response, the Queensland Government established the Queensland Government Critical Supply Reserve (QGCSR) to strengthen the state's preparedness and ensure access to critical supplies during emergencies.
The QGCSR helps safeguard Queensland's frontline services by providing reliable access to the supplies needed to support the delivery of essential services during large-scale disasters, public health emergencies, and other crises.
Through the QGCSR, the Queensland Government has enhanced the availability, distribution and accessibility of critical supplies across the state. The reserve includes a range of essential items that support frontline operations, including personal protective equipment (PPE), intensive care consumables, pharmaceuticals, pathology supplies, sanitisers, and cleaning products.
Agency access to the QGCSR
The QGCSR has been established to ensure Queensland Government frontline workers have the critical supplies and equipment they need to keep themselves safe and to care for the community.
It is focussed primarily on supporting Queensland Government departments, agencies, and statutory authorities; organisations providing healthcare services in Queensland; and other organisations performing frontline community services in Queensland.
Should your organisation require access to the QGCSR during an emergency or critical event, please complete the below form and the Queensland Health team will contact you to discuss your request.
Please note, agencies should continue to follow their usual disaster response processes for large scale emergency events or crises.
