AMA Queensland recommendations for HHSs to fulfil positive culture requirements
AMA Queensland wrote to all 16 HHSs in May 2023 recommending actions each HHS could take to meet their requirements to proactively promote a culture to support the health, safety and wellbeing of staff in public sector health service facilities.
The Queensland Legislative Assembly passed amendments to the Hospital and Health Boards Act 2011 in April 2023 that require Hospital and Health Services (HHSs) and their boards to proactively promote a culture to support the health, safety and wellbeing of staff in public sector health service facilities.
AMA Queensland wholeheartedly welcomed these changes and had been calling for them for some time.
Since the amendments specifically impose an obligation on all HHSs to implement associated measures, AMA Queensland wrote to all 16 HHS’ in May 2023 recommending actions each HHS could take, as developed by our Committee of Doctors in Training (CDT).
