Department Of Communities, Housing And Digital Economy Queensland

The Queensland Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy is focused on improving the lives of Queenslanders by increasing social, economic and digital inclusion. Our vision is to create thriving communities where all Queenslanders have pathways to a safe and stable place to live and enjoy high levels of social and economic wellbeing, supported by a strong digital economy and vibrant arts sector. Our frontline workforce is based across Queensland. We work to promote social connectedness and thriving Queensland communities, and support neighbourhood and community centres across the state to help achieve this goal at a local level. Our Community Recovery team provides human and social recovery assistance to disaster-affected individuals and communities. Our Housing and Homelessness Services team supports Queenslanders with pathways to safe, secure housing and affordable housing, manages a large portfolio of social housing and makes a difference to people's lives by ensuring a fairer and more accessible private market and greater provision of housing with support for vulnerable Queenslanders. We’re passionate about improving digital skills and access to digital services to help Queenslanders be active participants in the digital economy. We are partnering with communities to improve connectivity, enable economic participation and support jobs creation. Additionally, we manage government records and data through Queensland State Archives and, through Smart Services Queensland, provide a frontline service providing vital information to Queenslanders. Our Arts Queensland team is dedicated to growing a vibrant and sustainable arts and cultural sector in Queensland that delivers social outcomes for Queenslanders, secures jobs for artists and arts workers and supports the state’s recovery from COVID-19.
