Governing Queensland: Government Handbooks

Governing Queensland is a suite of policy and administrative handbooks designed to explain in an open way the processes of government in this state.

These handbooks are written chiefly for Ministers, Members of Parliament, public servants and staff in Minister’s offices. But they will be of interest to other people, including those who wish to influence government decisions.

Summary

Governing Queensland comprises five handbooks and a guide for members of Queensland government boards, committees and statutory authorities. Details of Queensland Cabinet, Executive Council and Parliamentary processes and the links between them are provided.

Governing Queensland includes:

• the Queensland Cabinet Handbook
• the Queensland Ministerial Handbook
• the Queensland Executive Council Handbook
• the Queensland Legislation Handbook
• the Queensland Parliamentary Procedures Handbook
• Welcome Aboard: A Guide for Members of Queensland Government Boards, Committees and Statutory Authorities
• the Queensland Policy Handbook (The Policy Handbook is no longer available. The Australian Policy Handbook by Peter Bridgman and Glyn Davis may be accessed for reference purposes.)
