About Department of Housing and Public Works

The Department of Housing and Public Works delivers a range of housing, building and procurement services. We work to ensure that our most in need Queenslanders have access to housing and homelessness assistance. This assistance is provided through government-owned and managed social housing, and grant funding to registered providers. We also help thousands of low income earners to enter and remain in the private rental market. Another key focus for the department is to provide policy, advice and delivery of services to government agencies in the areas of construction, asset and facilities management, procurement and fleet management. The department consists of five major areas: Housing and Homelessness Services, Public Works and Asset Management, Building Industry and Policy, Queensland Government Procurement and Corporate Services.
