What we do
Our vision is a financially strong government delivering a strong economy with affordable, reliable and sustainable energy for all Queenslanders. Our purpose is to deliver government priorities through our expert economic, fiscal, clean energy, and revenue advice and services.
Grow the Queensland economy and stimulate jobs
As a central agency, at Queensland Treasury we drive the government’s plan to deliver a strong economic future for Queensland, including growing the Queensland economy and jobs, in line with the government’s economic growth priorities and economic strategy. To achieve this, our role includes:
- facilitating Queensland’s open door for private sector investors from interstate and overseas to stimulate jobs and economic growth for Queenslanders
- creating an economic and regulatory environment that attracts interstate and overseas private sector investment
- driving a strong focus across government to ensure well-researched policies and strategies that further the productivity and competitiveness of the Queensland economy
- developing and maintaining effective intergovernmental relations that enhance Queensland’s policy position and influence
- working to address housing supply and affordability challenges to support home ownership.
Drive Queensland’s pathway to affordable, reliable and sustainable outcomes for Queensland households and businesses
We undertake policy and economic analysis on matters related to energy, gas, fuels and climate policy at the state and national level to facilitate economic growth and deliver an affordable, reliable and sustainable energy system.
We anticipate shifts in domestic and international energy requirements and climate-related economic impacts.
Deliver fiscal sustainability
We provide economic and fiscal leadership that supports effective reform across the public sector to realise the government’s objectives.
We manage the state’s financial risks and opportunities through a fiscal strategy that supports the Charter of Fiscal Responsibility.
Influence public sector improvement
We drive improvements in government businesses and services for all Queenslanders by supporting the delivery of innovation and efficient and effective services, including by:
- operationalising the Office of Social Impact to establish and deliver the Social Entrepreneurs Fund and roadmaps for social enterprise and impact investing
- working with Queensland’s government-owned corporations to deliver the best services and value for Queenslanders
- establishing Queensland Government Consulting Services to bring public sector consulting in-house and provide advice, build capability and contribute to cost savings within the sector.
Our 2025-2029 strategic plan details the vision, purpose and objectives that guide our work, appropriate strategies for delivering on those, and performance indicators to measure the extent to which they are achieved over time. It also considers strategic risks and opportunities that can hinder or help us achieve the objectives.
