Responsibilities and services

Queensland Treasury provides economic and financial policy advice to the Queensland Government to enhance our State’s financial position and economic performance. We also take a lead role in assisting the Government to be accountable and transparent in delivering services to the community.

Treasury is responsible for three statutory authorities: the Motor Accident Insurance Commission, Queensland Treasury Corporation and the Queensland Future Growth Corporation. For further information about these authorities, refer to the statutory authorities section of this website.

What we do

Our diverse responsibilities and services include:

Managing a strong economy and financial position

Our fundamental role is to deliver financial and economic policy and provide advice to assist the Queensland Government in managing the State’s finances and advancing the performance of the Queensland economy to support growth and employment.

Managing Queensland’s interests in Government-owned corporations (GOCs)

Through the Office of Government Owned Corporations (OGOC), we ensure GOCs’ capital programs are rigorously evaluated to deliver market-like returns to shareholders and quality service to customers, while also adhering to corporate governance guidelines and statutory requirements.

Delivering economic and statistical research to inform Government decision making

Our Office of Economic and Statistical Research (OESR) is a centre of excellence and the Queensland Government’s principal economic, statistical and social research agency. The services we provide help guide Queensland Government planning, decision making, policy development, performance evaluation and resource allocation.

Delivering efficient and equitable State taxation

The Office of State Revenue manages Queensland’s revenue base by administering State taxes, grants and subsidies schemes simply, efficiently and equitably.

For detailed information about the services we deliver, see the our services section of this website.
