Our strategy
Our strategic plan is to make sure we provide ‘care, connection and compassion for all’. Our strategy explains our goals, main issues and our commitment to:
- providing quality health care to the Wide Bay area
- future-proofing our hospital and health services
- respecting human rights when we make decisions
- recognising First Nations peoples and the traditional custodians of the lands we work and live on when we provide health care.
Our strategy also supports the Queensland Government’s strategy for ‘good jobs, better services, and great lifestyle’. You can learn more about the strategy on the Queensland Government website.

- mental health conditions
- a growing number of older people who will need more complex care
- people with financial or social issues
- out of date health service technology.

We have 5 main goals to reach by 2026.
