Corporate governance

Manufacturing Skills Queensland (MSQ) is an independent body established and funded under the Queensland Government’s Making it in Queensland: Building a Stronger Manufacturing Sector policy in November 2022. Our work supports the Queensland Government’s $70 million investment in manufacturing skills and training. The MSQ Board guides the organisation’s strategy and ensures investment in manufacturing skills and training through the Annual Training Plan meets the needs of industry.

MSQ was established by the Queensland Government with two foundational members:

• Minister with responsibility for training and skills development
• Minister with responsibility for manufacturing

Our Strategic Plan is prepared and submitted by the Board each year for responsible Ministers’ approval. In addition, MSQ is required to submit an Annual Training Plan to the Department of Trade, Employment and Training by 30 April each year.

Our governance framework is designed to ensure accountability, transparency, and effectiveness in all our endeavours. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of governance, empowering stakeholders with the information they need to understand our decision-making processes and strategic direction.
