For veterans

The Queensland public service recognises the valuable skills and qualities veterans possess and supports them to find meaningful employment in the sector.

As part of a whole-of-government approach to matching veterans with roles that suit their skillset and experience, tools have been developed to make sure you and our recruiters are both on the same page.

Cultural acknowledgement

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors—our First Nations peoples—give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations towards creating a better Queensland.

Our human rights commitment

We will respect, protect and promote human rights within our decision-making and actions.
