About us
Our role
Queensland Treasury delivers policy and financial services to improve the quality of life for all Queenslanders and our outputs contribute to the Government's social and fiscal objectives for the community, outlined in the Charter of Social and Fiscal Responsibility. We provide fiscal and economic advice to the Queensland Government with the aim of enhancing the State's financial position and economic performance.
A strong Queensland economy and financial position provides the foundation for continuing to improve the quality of life for Queenslanders.

Our role connects us with government agencies at all levels, industry organisations and business groups, community groups, public sector employees and individuals across Queenslanders.

Our organisation
Treasury is a diverse organisation. Our structure is organised into portfolio offices, which produce the outputs to help deliver the Government's priority of responsive government. This structure provides a streamlined approach to shaping solutions for policy issues and delivering services.
Treasury is also responsible for two statutory authorities, the Motor Accident Insurance Commission and Queensland Treasury Corporation. The performance of these authorities is not detailed in the Treasury Annual Report as they produce independent annual reports.
Our structure
Delivering responsive Government
The Charter of Social and Fiscal Responsibility details the Government's commitment to delivering improved outcomes for the community. It outlines the priorities Government agencies need to focus on, so they can deliver on the community outcomes the Government wants to achieve. The Charter of Social and Fiscal Responsibility is mandated through section 6E of the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1977.
Treasury's eight portfolio offices produce outputs which contribute to the delivery of the Government's community outcomes. The diagram below details the linkages between these offices and how the outputs they produce contribute to the Government priority of delivering responsive government.
In contributing to the delivery of responsive Government, Treasury's outputs help to shape solutions for the Government's community outcomes.

Treasury's overall vision is to improve the quality of life for all Queenslanders and contribute to the Government's key priorities for the community.
