Gold Coast-based Skin O2 is taking Queensland innovation global!👏 I was proud to see them sign a new partnership with Vietnam’s Newtechco Group, bringing their world-class therapeutic products to a booming healthcare market. With support from the Crisafulli Government, Skin O2 is showing the world what Queensland’s health and wellness sector can do 🤝🌏 We’re backing Queensland businesses to create jobs, boost exports, and helping QLD-made products reach international shelves. #Queensland #Vietnam #trade #investment #healthcare #products #international
Congratulations to Melissa Lewis on being selected for the Queensland Veterans Over 40’s Women’s Cricket Team 🏏 The former Dolphins player & current coach is heading to Perth to compete in the 2025 Women’s Over 40 Cricket Championships this coming week and I'm proud to support her.

We’re not waiting for opportunity, we’re delivering it. Fantastic meeting with Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to grow Queensland’s agrifood ties! 🚜🌾 We’re opening doors for Queensland beef, grains, and horticulture — and celebrating new market access for Australian blueberries in Vietnam and Vietnamese pomelo in Australia 🫐👏 After Labor’s decade of decline and neglected trade partnerships, the Crisafulli Government is backing our farmers, boosting exports, and creating more jobs for Queenslanders. #Queensland #Queenslandofopportunity #Vietnam #trade #investment #partnerships #farming #agriculture
We’re delivering a NEW Austinville Causeway on Gold Coast–Springbrook Road 📣🚧 It’s an important upgrade I’ve fought hard for after years of locals being cut off during severe weather. Under Labor’s decade of decline, Austinville residents were left stranded whenever Mudgeeraba Creek flooded — isolating families and blocking emergency access. Just like we promised, the Crisafulli Government is delivering real results for Mudgeeraba. We’re building a new causeway that’s 2.5 metres higher and wider, with improved approaches to keep Austinville, Neranwood, and Springbrook connected — even in heavy rain. We’re a government that listens — and delivers. I’m proud to stand up for our region and deliver safer roads for our community. #Queensland #weather #roads #safety #community
Meeting with the Australian Ambassador in Vietnam 🤝 strengthening Queensland’s trade and investment ties. Vietnam is Queensland’s largest export destination in Southeast Asia and a key gateway to the region’s fast-growing markets. From agribusiness and energy to education and innovation, we’re backing Queensland industries, students, and businesses to seize new opportunities across the region 🤝🌏 Leveraging our relationships with the Australian Embassy and DFAT, the Crisafulli Government is delivering a QueensLand of Opportunity. That’s a better lifestyle for Queenslanders through a stronger economy. #Queensland #Vietnam #partnership #trade #investment #queenslandofopportunity
Queensland is open for business in Vietnam! 📣 I proudly opened Trade and Investment Queensland’s new office in Hanoi — unlocking more opportunities, more jobs and more growth for Queenslanders. After a decade of decline under Labor, the Crisafulli Government is restoring confidence and delivering a QueensLand of Opportunity. We’re the first Australian state with a regional trade and investment hub in Vietnam — strengthening partnerships across education, agriculture, clean energy and innovation 🤝💼 Together, we’re building a stronger economy and a better lifestyle for all Queenslanders. #Queensland #Hanoi #Vietnam #trade #investment #opportunity #business #exports #growth #economy #queenslandofopportunity
The Crisafulli Government has delivered a new Trade and Investment office in Hanoi, making Queensland the first Australian state with a dual-city presence in Vietnam 📣 This move is backing our exporters, creating jobs and we’re delivering more opportunities for Queenslanders — from beef producers to tech innovators, and more 🤝💼 After a decade of decline under Labor, our state’s potential was neglected and we missed key partnerships like Vietnam’s booming economy. Our Government is restoring Queensland’s reputation, and we’re delivering a stronger economy that gives every Queenslander a better lifestyle. #Queensland #Hanoi #Vietnam #trade #investment #opportunity #business #local #support #growing #economy
I’m leading Queensland’s largest-ever trade mission to Asia, taking our state’s talent and innovation to the world 🌏🤝 In Hanoi, I hosted a roundtable with leading investors and business partners to strengthen Queensland’s growing trade and investment ties with Vietnam. The Crisafulli Government is delivering a QueensLand of Opportunity — helping local businesses expand, attract investment, and create jobs across our regions. From agrifood and resources to energy, tech and health, our partnership with Vietnam is opening new doors across Southeast Asia. #Queensland #worldwide #trade #investment #vietnam #hanoi #opportunity #businesses #smallbusiness #familybusiness
Child safety education is a top priority - and we're helping spread the word 📣 We've partnered with the @danielmorcombefoundation to deliver Australia's Biggest Child Safety Lesson - a livestreamed lesson to more than half a million students that provides vital education about personal safety. Today's technology is evolving, so this year's lesson focuses on creating safer environments for children in both the online and offline world. We're proud to back the Morcombes and their powerful advocacy to keep our kids safe. Here’s a flashback to my time as Shadow Minister for Child Safety in 2016. We’re delivering on our promises, we’re restoring safety where you live and keeping Queensland children safe. #Queensland #Qldpol #childsafety #safe #community #learn #classrooms
Today we honour Kokoda Day — a moment to remember the courage, mateship and sacrifice shown along the Kokoda Trail in 1942. These values and the spirit of Kokoda still bring our community together today, especially through organisations like the Kokoda Youth Foundation. I’m proud to have supported their journey from the beginning, backing founders Doug and Anna Henderson to inspire and motivate young Queenslanders. Lest we forget. @kokodachallenge @kokodayouthfoundation #Queensland #kokoda #challenge #community #support
The Crisafulli Government is backing Queensland women returning to work 📣💼 I’m part of the Women’s Economic Security team, and together we’re reducing barriers and supporting Queensland women who want to re-enter the workforce after a career break. In partnership with Future Women, we’re offering grants of up to $4,999 to help cover the costs of getting work ready — whether that’s workwear, childcare, training, tools, or tech. No Queensland woman should miss out on work because of its cost. We’re a government that listens and we’re delivering a better lifestyle for Queenslanders through a stronger economy. Applications open today, check it out at👉 womenscareergrants.com.au #Queensland #women #work #career #support #grant #applynow

From Mudgeeraba to the UK - last month I was proud to be at the official opening of ABI Interiors’ warehouse and distribution centre in the UK 📣👏 ABI Interiors is a true Queensland success story – from locally-designed kitchens and bathrooms to a growing presence in the UK, New Zealand, and China. With over 300 staff worldwide, including 14 in the UK, they are headquartered right here in Carrara and have done our local community proud. This milestone shows what Queensland businesses can achieve with vision, hard work, and the support of our government. Congratulations to CEO Sukai Farrell, COO Katherine Williams, and the ABI Interiors team – your success is a win for Mudgeeraba! 👏 #Queensland #uk #business #local #community #trade #investment #opportunity @tradeinvestqld
🌏📚 Happy World Teachers’ Day! From our schools to our TAFE campuses – today we’re celebrating our Queensland teachers who inspire our students every day. I’m here at TAFE Robina with Fran, who’s been a teacher here for 2 years, teaching hairdressing. She says the best part is guiding the younger generation to bring out their creativity and mentoring them with real world skills. At TAFE, our teachers are leading the way in sustainable, hands-on training that helps students build real skills for real jobs. Our government is proud to back our teachers, who make a difference in the classroom - and we’re securing a pipeline of skilled workers for our state’s future. We’re fixing Labor’s skills shortage – and we’re grateful for our teachers who are training Queensland’s future workforce. @tafeqld @thedandoran #TAFE #Queensland #Teachers #worldteachersday #classrooms #learning #students
Happy World Teachers' Day! 🍎 Today we celebrate and thank our Queensland teachers for the important role they play in in our communities and the lasting impact they have on the lives of students. Your dedication, passion and hard work inspire the next generation - thank you for all that you do 👏
We’ve just delivered Queensland’s first public child sex offender register. Our children will be kept safe in Daniel’s name. @danielmorcombefoundation #queensland #qldpol #community #safe #morcombe
The Crisafulli Government has delivered Queensland’s first public child sex offender register – another key election commitment to restore safety where you live. Named in honour of Daniel Morcombe, this law creates the Queensland Community Protection and Public Child Sex Offender Register, giving parents the right to know and protect their children from dangerous offenders. Daniel’s parents, Bruce and Denise Morcombe, have fought through unimaginable heartbreak to make our communities safer. Today, we honour their courage and deliver on the promise we made to them – and to Queensland families. No law can erase the past, but this one will help protect the future. @danielmorcombefoundation #queensland #qldpol #safer #community
🎉 Proudly celebrating 100 years of history 🎉 This year, the iconic Numinbah Valley School of Arts hall proudly celebrates its centenary🥳 At their recent morning tea, myself and countless locals joined to see their great display of history. It was a morning of connection and celebration. Built in 1925, using local timber donated by local settlers and constructed with the hands-on help of the community, the Hall stands as a reminder of the unity and spirit that shaped the valley. 💡 Did you know? School of Arts halls were part of a movement that originated in the UK & spread throughout Australia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. These halls became community hubs, offering spaces for learning, culture, and connection. From this grassroots movement grew public libraries, technical colleges, and adult education systems, forming the foundations of the educational and cultural institutions we know today. Here’s to 100 years of history, culture, and community spirit — and to the people who continue to keep this legacy alive 🙌
I was a nurse for 45 years and delivering care for Queenslanders has always been a priority for me. I’ve stood with some incredible healthcare workers but under Labor, our hospitals and health systems were in crisis. We promised to stabilise the waitlist for elective surgery and that’s exactly what we’ve delivered. After a decade of decline under Labor, more than 142,000 elective surgeries have now been delivered under the Crisafulli Government, with the waitlist falling by 5 per cent. Our record $1.75 billion investment over four years means patients are getting the lifechanging surgeries they need sooner. It’s all part of our plan to deliver easier access to health services. #Queensland #QLDpol #health #care #hospitals #healthcare #support #explore
As a proud patron of the Hinterland District Netball Association, it was fantastic to catch up with the Queensland Firebirds at Parliament today! 💜🏐 Netball is more than just a game — it’s about community, connection and confidence. It’s a sport loved by so many across Mudgeeraba, and I’ve had the pleasure of watching countless games over the years as your local MP. Since 1995, the Hinterland District Netball Association has been bringing people together at Firth Park Sporting Complex in Mudgeeraba. As the largest netball association on the Gold Coast — and one of the biggest in Queensland — HDNA offers something for everyone, from NetSetGO for the littlies right through to our senior competitions. If you or your family are looking to get involved, reach out to our local clubs and register ahead of the 2026 season! Let’s keep building a strong, inclusive and active community through the sport we love 💪💜 @netballqueensland_ @hdna_netball @firebirdsqld #Queensland #netball #goldcoast #sports #teams #players #local #community
