Project Manager

The Queensland Government has launched Homes for Queenslanders - an ambitious plan for a fair and sustainable housing system that ensures better housing outcomes both now and for future generations.
To support the Homes for Queenslanders plan, Information and Digital Services is leading a Service Modernisation Program (SMP) which will deliver a comprehensive program of work which will:
- improve the way vulnerable Queenslanders interact with our frontline services;
- provide a single source of truth for data and;
- provide us with the agility to respond to the changing needs of Queenslanders through reducing the complexity of our ICT ecosystem.
