Our Purpose:
Queensland's hospital system is facing greater demand and pressure than ever before. This is driven by our growing and ageing population, and compounded by pressures on primary, aged and disability care. To help address this, Health Infrastructure Queensland (HIQ), in partnership with Hospital and Health Services (HHS), is leading the biggest hospital expansion program Queensland has ever seen.

The program includes building three recent hospitals, expanding 11, upgrading rural and regional health facilities and delivering thousands of new hospital beds. This is intended to be the first tranche of a 15-year program of infrastructure investments. You will forge a new sustainable delivery model and contribute to the delivery of projects that ultimately improve the health and wellbeing of Queenslanders - what could be more rewarding than that?

About the role

Reporting directly to the Executive Director of Regional and Rural Delivery, this role is responsible for managing multidisciplinary teams and strategic partnerships, overseeing a diverse portfolio of health infrastructure projects, with a key focus on delivering multiple regional and rural initiatives that enhance healthcare access and outcomes for communities across Queensland.

Recognising the State's ageing health assets and vast geography, sparse populations, and environmental factors that create barriers to equitable healthcare access, the Queensland Government has prioritised regional and rural equity through significant capital investment. This investment in Queensland's regional and rural communities will expand and replace facilities and deliver new facilities to boost equity in access to healthcare services. As the Senior Director, Regional and Rural Delivery, you will play a critical role delivering on the Government's vision and investment.

Provide strategic oversight for the entire portfolio of projects
Oversee program governance, risk management, and compliance at an organisational level
