Question

QUESTION Will the Minister advise, as at the most recent pay period ending date (or closest reportable date), the total MOHRI Occupied FTE orderlies employed in each Hospital and Health Service (in table format, reported separately by HHS, with one row per HHS)? ANSWER The Crisafulli Government has released the Queensland Health Workforce Gap Analysis Reports which expose the staggering depths of the Queensland Health Crisis left by the former government. The former government’s failure to secure a pipeline of health workers has had major impacts, particularly on rural and remote Queensland, with persistent workforce gaps forcing critical community services to close. As part of the analysis, Queensland Health has found major workforce shortages left by the former government - and no cohesive pipeline for future health workers. The Crisafulli Government is boosting the frontline health workforce with an additional 4,500 health workers including doctors, paramedics and nurses in 2025-26, as part of the record Health Budget’s $24.1 billion investment into Hospital and Health Service operations. The total number of Minimum Obligatory Human Resources Information (MOHRI) Occupied Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Orderlies employed in each Hospital and Health Service, as at 26 October 2025, is below.
