Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service

About Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service

Public health services in Queensland are provided through 16 Hospital and Health Services (HHS). These are statutory bodies each governed by a Hospital and Health Board. Some public health services are also provided by private providers. The Department of Health is responsible for the overall management of the public health system in Queensland, including monitoring the performance of HHSs. Service agreements are negotiated between the Department of Health and each HHS. The service agreement determines the services that the department will purchase from the HHS and how much it will pay for the provision of these services (ie. the level of funding to be provided).
