The Queensland Treasury Strategic Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan outlines the department’s waste management practices. It has been developed in accordance with the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011 and the State’s waste management strategy: Waste – Everyone’s responsibility: Queensland Waste Avoidance and Resource Productivity Strategy (2014-2024).
The Queensland Government has released new procurement commitments to the social services sector, acknowledging the advocacy of organisations such as the Queensland Council of Social Service (QCOSS) and the Australian Services Union (ASU) in delivering community support.
The Best Practice Industry Conditions for Social Services Procurement provide social service providers with the appropriate contractual arrangements to ensure vulnerable Queenslanders continue to get the care they need.
Amid national and international economic pressures and an increasingly complex environment for social services organisations, the Queensland Government is partnering strategically with the sector to ensure long-term sustainability. Together, we are collaborating to meet the growing demand for services and to improve outcomes for Queenslanders.
