Organised by
We partner with Hospital and Health Services (HHSs), clinicians and consumers to drive measurable improvements in patient care through the continual pursuit of excellence.
Clinical Excellence Queensland (CEQ) does this by identifying, monitoring and promoting improvements in the quality of health services delivered by service providers (both HHSs and private health facilities, globally and within Queensland), and supporting and facilitating the dissemination of best-practice clinical standards and processes that achieve better outcomes for our patients.
The division is also accountable for setting and supporting the direction for mental health, alcohol and other drug services in Queensland, as well as monitoring and reporting on performance.
CEQ is also the conduit for the Queensland Clinical Senate and clinical networks to engage with the department, and provides professional leadership for clinicians through the Office of the Chief Dental Officer, Office of the Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer and Allied Health Professions Office of Queensland.
The Chief Psychiatrist is also located within the division and is responsible for exercising the statutory responsibilities for administration of the Mental Health Act 2016, as well as consultation and specialist advice regarding the clinical care and treatment of people with mental illness.
