Dear Minister

I am pleased to submit for presentation to the Parliament the Annual Report 2017-​18​ and financial statements for the Department of Education.

Following Machinery of Government changes implemented on 12 December 2017 the former Department of Education and Training was restructured. The core functions of Education have become the prime focus of the new Department of Education. The Office of Industrial Relations from Queensland Treasury was also integrated into the new department. I certify that this Annual Report complies with:

• the prescribed requirements of the Financial Accountability Act 2009 and the Financial and Performance Management Standard 2009; and 
  
• the detailed requirements set out in the Annual Report requirements for Queensland Government agencies.
  

A checklist outlining the annual reporting requirements can be accessed the departments ​annual report page​.

Yours sincerely

TONY COOK
​Director-General
