Queensland Health Scientific Services (QHSS) is a preferred destination for graduates. Being one of the largest public health sciences laboratories in Australia, it provides scientific excellence in the work it does for the Queensland public. QUT graduates such as Claire Runge are given opportunities at QHSS to pursue avenues of self-development to become better scientists and develop their capacity to inquisitively 'problem-solve' in the discipline of their choice, whether in the field of forensic science or in all aspects of public health science. Our experience has been that graduates of QUT demonstrate all of these things. Claire will be given the opportunity to advance in her preferred profession while working at QHSS.
