Health and Wellbeing Queensland is a statutory agency in Queensland, Australia, responsible for health promotion in the state. HWQ is broadly part of the Queensland Health, the state's public health system, and is part of the Queensland Government. Formed on 1 July 2019 through the Health and Wellbeing Queensland Act 2019, the agency has the objective of improving the health of all Queenslanders through reducing the burden of chronic diseases and health inequality.[1] Health and Wellbeing Queensland does not provide clinical services to Queenslanders directly, but instead funds health initiatives and programs and helps guide health policy development.
