Women and Women's Economic Security

  • Foster an environment that allows for Queensland women to be economically secure.
  • Work proactively across agencies to close the gender pay gap.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships

  • Lift living standards in Aboriginal communities and Torres Strait Islander communities, particularly discrete First Nations communities where basic amenities are often limited.
  • Work closely with other agencies to improve health, educational and employment outcomes.
  • Work with local leaders and communities to deliver aspirational Queenslanders the opportunity to own their own home in their community where regulation does not currently permit.

Multiculturalism

  • Facilitate an environment where multicultural communities want to call Queensland home by harnessing their skills and expertise and working together to build a prosperous, fair and harmonious Queensland.
  • Continue to celebrate the cultural practices of all multicultural communities and celebrate the full participation of these communities in Queensland's way of life and social fabric.

Cultural acknowledgement

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors—our First Nations peoples—give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations towards creating a better Queensland.

Our human rights commitment

We will respect, protect and promote human rights within our decision-making and actions.
