Are you living with HIV and a Queensland resident?

As QPP continues to grow and Queensland's HIV response enters a dynamic new chapter, we need passionate people living with HIV to help guide our future.

This is an exciting opportunity to give back to the community in a meaningful way while helping shape the future of HIV services, advocacy and peer support across Queensland. We are particularly interested in appointing someone who lives outside the south-east corner of the state.
