Budget papers

Every year QCOSS makes a pre-budget submission to the Qld Government (in around November). This submission is drawn from the views of our members - gathered through individual submissions, forums across Queensland, and regular collaboration with a range of peak organisations. It is supported by comprehensive research of national and international literature. In early June the State Budget is delivered and QCOSS is briefed on any implications for vulnerable and disadvantaged Queenslanders. We work hard to provide prompt links to information and commentary on budget impacts for those living in poverty, and for the community services sector itself. QCOSS also host an annual budget breakfast – with our community sector partners – where the Treasurer and other MPs are invited to speak.
