Manufacturing Queensland We're helping Queensland manufacturers become international market leaders. We're invested in the future of manufacturing in Queensland. Do you have a complaint?

By 2026, Queensland will be international market leaders in the delivery of advanced manufacturing technologies, systems, products and services that are innovative, sustainable, and embedded in local and global supply chains. Consistent with the Advance Queensland initiative, the Queensland Government is committed to supporting the state's manufacturing industry, which is a major contributor to jobs and the economy. We recognise the importance of the manufacturing industry to the stateโ€™s continued growth, and we also recognise that our manufacturers operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment. Manufacturing matters to Queensland. The department is listening and keen to find a resolution. Please follow this link to let us know how we can help. https://www.qld.gov.au/contact-us

What does it take to stand out in major project and Tier 1 supply chains?

For many manufacturers, it starts with having strong business systems, clear processes and a culture of continuous improvement.

Our low cost, one-day Integrated Management Systems workshop will explore the practical application of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, helping manufacturers better understand how quality, safety and environmental management practices contribute to stronger business performance and supplier capability.

This October, during Indigenous Business Month, we recognise the contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and businesses have made, and continue to make, to Queensland's manufacturing industry.

For Queensland manufacturers, the month is an opportunity to strengthen supply chains and create new business partnerships with Indigenous businesses. From locally manufactured products and components to equipment hire, facilities management and specialist services, Indigenous suppliers offer valuable expertise that supports manufacturers across Queensland.

Manufacturing careers aren't one-size-fits-all, and neither are the pathways into them.

As part of Queensland Manufacturing Month, we're highlighting the people, partnerships and programs helping build the future of Queensland manufacturing.

Recently, the Queensland Manufacturing Hub on the Sunshine Coast celebrated participants who completed the Forge Forward Manufacturing Pathways for Parents Program โ€“ Warehousing and Supply Chains.

Designed for parents returning to work, looking to upskill or explore a new career direction, the program combined hands-on learning, industry exposure and practical licences to help participants build confidence and job-ready skills for roles in manufacturing, warehousing and supply chains.

A big thank you to Major Training Group RTO 6139 for delivering the program, and The Country Chef Bakery Co. for providing a behind-the-scenes look at their production operations.
