Healthy Queenslanders

Making Queenslanders Australia's healthiest people

Our Q2 Healthy ambition is to make Queenslanders Australia’s healthiest people. Our unique climate and outdoor lifestyle gives us an ideal environment for achieving this ambition, however our challenge is to help improve the health, lifestyle and quality of life for all Queenslanders.

Achieving our targets

We measure our progress toward two clear targets for Queensland:

• Cut by one-third obesity, smoking, heavy drinking and unsafe sun exposure.
• Achieving the shortest public hospital waiting times in Australia.

Leading by example

Here are some examples of how Queensland Government agencies have taken up the challenge of making Queenslanders Australia’s healthiest people.
