Annastacia Palaszczuk was appointed to the Australia Post Board in August 2024 (current term expires in August 2027). Annastacia was sworn in as Premier of Queensland on 14 February 2015 and served for nearly 9 years, chairing Cabinet and overseeing the Cabinet Budget Review Committee.
During her term, the Queensland economy grew strongly with significant investment in infrastructure and increased levels of employment. Given the geographical size of Queensland, Annastacia was particularly focused on improvements in services and employment in rural and regional areas.
As a member of National Cabinet, she developed Australia’s response to the Covid epidemic. Annastacia was the 2016 Queensland recipient of the Women and Leadership Australia’s (WLA) Award for Excellence in Women’s Leadership. In 2018 she was awarded the International Leadership Award by the Biotechnology Innovation Organisation (BIO).
