- Tricia Ho-Hudson (board member) commencing 1 October;

Treasurer, David Janetzki said Mr Johnston was a highly respected financial leader who currently serves as Suncorp CEO and would be appointed Chair following the retirement of Damien Frawley at the end of this year.
Mr Janetzki welcomed the timing of the new appointments, which he said provided succession planning and business continuity.
“The current term of four directors will conclude by the end of the year and the new appointees will bring experience and expertise,” Mr Janetzki said.
“I’m delighted to welcome the new board members who possess strong financial and analytical skills.
“QTC plays an integral role in managing the State’s finances, identifying opportunities to minimise costs and risks, and maximising outcomes for Queensland.”
Mr Janetzki sincerely thanked retiring board members Neville Ide, Karen Smith-Pomeroy and John Wilson for their outstanding service to Queensland and offered tribute to outgoing Chair Mr Frawley.
“Damien is a towering figure in Queensland’s financial services world, and I thank him for his decades of service to our State’s growing prosperity.”
