Our structure

We're an independent statutory body governed by a board. Our board has independent non-executive members. The Governor in Council and the Minister for Health and Ambulance Services appoint our board members. The Minister is also responsible for Queensland Health who:

  • monitors our performance through Service Agreements
  • provides funding for Metro South public health services.
