Governance
Palliative Care Queensland is governed by a board of State Council members, a volunteer board comprising seven State Councilors, all of whom are members of Palliative Care Queensland and who have been elected by the membership to manage the organization. Within the State Council sits the Executive Committee (Management Committee), comprising the President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer.
The Chief Executive Officer is appointed by State Council to manage the day to day operations of the organisation and to ensure that the organisation’s strategic and operational objectives are realised. The CEO reports directly to the Executive Committee.
