The QBCC Corporate Governance Framework

The Framework is established in accordance with the Financial and Performance Management Standard 2009, aligned with the Queensland Audit Office (QAO) ‘Leading accountability –Governance QAO better practice guide’ and further, is guided by the Public Sector Act 2022, the Public Sector Ethics Act 1994 and the Code of Conduct for the Queensland Public Service. 

The Framework uses five linked governance elements to ensure effective organisational oversight, management, and risk reporting:

• roles, responsibilities and accountability
• strategy performance and planning
• risk compliance and oversight
• leadership and culture
• stakeholder engagement

This is supported by the application to all operational aspects of the QBCC of the principles of good public sector governance - accountability, transparency/clarity, integrity, efficiency and leadership.  

Through this robust, integrated approach, the Framework establishes clear accountability mechanisms across the QBCC and provides a strong foundation to enable the QBCC to maintain the highest standards of public sector corporate governance.
