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.
