Jeannette Rosita Young AC PSM (born 1963) is an Australian medical doctor and administrator who is currently Governor of Queensland, since 1 November 2021.

She then moved into a position similar to her role in Rockhampton, as executive director of medical services at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, in January 1999.

[citation needed] On 17 August 2005, she was appointed to succeed Gerry FitzGerald as Chief Health Officer of Queensland.

Her recommendation to the Palaszczuk Government to close the state's borders, which was implemented, proved controversial as she received numerous death threats and was placed under police protection in September 2020.

The incumbent Governor Paul de Jersey was due to retire in July 2021, but extended his term until November to allow Young to focus on the COVID-19 vaccine rollout as Chief Health Officer.
