Meriba Omasker Kaziw Kazipa (Torres Strait Islander Traditional Child Rearing Practice) Bill 2020Recommended passagePASSED with amendment

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee: Report No. 40, 56th Parliament-Meriba Omasker Kaziw Kazipa (Torres Strait Islander Traditional Child Rearing Practice) Bill 20202020-08-28

Committee findings

The Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee examined this historic bill, which is the first legislation in Australia to formally recognise Torres Strait Islander traditional child rearing practice (Ailan Kastom). The committee held public hearings across five locations including Townsville, Cairns, Bamaga, Thursday Island and Saibai Island, and unanimously recommended the bill be passed. While supporting the bill, the committee made five additional recommendations addressing education programs, Commissioner independence, birth certificate amendments, and criminal history information handling.

Key findings
  • The bill is the first of its kind in Australia to legally recognise Torres Strait Islander traditional child rearing practice and to incorporate Indigenous language into legislation.
  • Stakeholders broadly supported the bill's intent, though some community members raised concerns about the complexity of the proposed legal process potentially deterring families from engaging with it.
  • The committee found that the existing legal framework caused significant distress to Torres Strait Islander families by breaching community confidentiality through birth certificate documentation.
  • Concerns were raised about the breadth of the 'best interests of the child' principle and whether it could import considerations from other legislation that may undermine the bill's intent.
  • Some witnesses and LNP committee members expressed concern that the bill was rushed through Parliament with insufficient time for community consultation and understanding.
Recommendations
  • The committee recommends the Meriba Omasker Kaziw Kazipa (Torres Strait Islander Traditional Child Rearing Practice) Bill 2020 be passed.
  • The committee recommends that the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships prioritise the implementation of culturally appropriate, independent and supportive education programs, mindful of the sensitive nature of the Ailan Kastom process.
  • The committee recommends that the department explore opportunities for independent counselling and support for people who may experience trauma as a result of their interaction with the legal recognition process.
  • The committee recommends that the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships establish the offices for the Office of the Commissioner, in both Cairns and Thursday Island, in facilities separate to departmental offices to uphold the Commissioner's independence.
  • The committee recommends that clause 124 of the Bill be amended so that section 44 of the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 2003 is further amended to explicitly instruct the Registrar to remove the names of the birth parents from the new birth certificate.
  • The committee recommends that clause 124 of the Bill be amended so that section 44 of the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 2003 is further amended to ensure that the Registrar may give requested information relating to a closed entry for a person (who is the subject of the traditional recognition order, and while still a child) only with the consent of one or more of the cultural parents (and/or guardian).
  • The committee recommends that proposed section 45 of the Bill be amended to ensure the destruction of any criminal history information received by the Commissioner occurs as soon as practicable after the information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was requested.
Dissenting views: LNP members Mark McArdle MP and Marty Hunt MP filed a Statement of Reservation. While supporting the recommendation that the bill be passed, they raised three concerns: (1) the process may be overly complex for communities where English is a second or third language, potentially deterring families from engaging; (2) the bill appeared rushed to meet an election commitment, with insufficient time for community consultation and parliamentary scrutiny; and (3) the broad 'best interests of the child' provision risked importing considerations from other legislation that could undermine the bill's intent of recognising traditional practices outside existing legal constraints. They also flagged that the criminal history check provisions could discourage community participation due to relatively high rates of minor or historic offending.

Disability Services and Other Legislation (Worker Screening) Amendment Bill 2020Recommended passagePASSED

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee: Report No. 39, 56th Parliament-Disability Services and Other Legislation (Worker Screening) Amendment Bill 20202020-08-03

Committee findings

The Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee examined the bill over six weeks, receiving six submissions and holding public hearings with key stakeholders including the Queensland Human Rights Commission, Queensland Law Society, and Queenslanders with Disability Network. The committee unanimously recommended the bill be passed. Submissions were broadly supportive of the bill's objectives, though stakeholders raised concerns about privacy protections for screened workers, the complexity of requiring dual screening (disability worker screening and blue card) for those working with children with disability, and the potential impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in remote areas.

Key findings
  • All six submissions were supportive of the bill's objectives to implement nationally consistent NDIS worker screening in Queensland
  • The Queensland Human Rights Commission raised concerns about the breadth of personal information collected during screening and the potential for privacy breaches to cause serious harm to applicants
  • Stakeholders supported allowing adults who self-manage their NDIS plans to maintain choice and control over whether to require worker screening for unregistered providers
  • The dual requirement for both a disability worker screening check and a blue card for people working with children with disability was flagged as creating additional barriers, particularly for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in remote communities
  • The committee found that limitations on human rights in the bill, including limits on equality before the law and privacy rights, were sufficiently justified by the need to protect people with disability from abuse, violence, neglect and exploitation
Recommendations
  • The committee recommends the Disability Services and Other Legislation (Worker Screening) Amendment Bill 2020 be passed.
Dissenting views: LNP members Mark McArdle and Marty Hunt filed a Statement of Reservation supporting the bill's passage but raising two concerns. First, they questioned whether adequate internal protections existed within the department to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive screening information, and whether data shared with other jurisdictions would be equally secured. Second, they raised concerns about the bill's 17 regulation-making powers, arguing the government was increasingly using regulations to avoid full parliamentary scrutiny, and questioned the reversal of onus of proof in provisions requiring a person to have a 'reasonable excuse' for not producing a clearance card.

Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2019Recommended passagePASSED with amendment

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee: Report No. 32, 56th Parliament, February 2020-Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2019, interim government response2020-05-21

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee: Report No. 32, 56th Parliament, February 2020-Health Legislation Amendment Bill 20192020-02-21

Committee findings

The Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee examined the Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2019 and tabled Report No. 32 in February 2020. The committee recommended the bill be passed with amendments, particularly seeking greater clarity around the conversion therapy ban provisions. The committee received broad support from stakeholders including the Queensland Human Rights Commission, Queensland Nurses' and Midwives' Union, and the Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council, though it noted areas where the bill could be strengthened.

Key findings
  • Stakeholders broadly supported amendments to strengthen health equity commitments for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Hospital and Health Boards Act 2011.
  • The committee identified a need for greater clarity in the conversion therapy ban provisions regarding what treatment and care would be covered and what would not.
  • The committee supported repealing redundant Pap Smear Register provisions, as the Queensland register had been replaced by a national register.
  • Submitters supported amendments to clarify the Mental Health Commissioner's staffing functions and extend the maximum appointment term to five years.
  • The committee examined amendments to water risk management plans for hospitals and aged care facilities, noting a potentially lower threshold for offences carrying significant penalties.
Recommendations
  • The committee recommends the Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2019 be passed with the amendments proposed at Recommendation 2.
  • The committee recommends that new section 213F in clause 28 of the Bill be amended to provide greater clarity and certainty as to what treatment and care provided by health service providers are to be covered and what services are not to be covered by the conversion therapy ban.
  • The committee recommends that the Minister informs the House, if the Bill is passed, what education, training, or guidelines would be provided to health service providers to assist them to understand what care and treatment would be covered by the definition of conversion therapy and the offence provisions in clause 28 of the Bill.

Health Transparency Bill 2019Recommended passagePASSED with amendment

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee: Report No. 27, 56th Parliament, October 2019-Health Transparency Bill 20192019-10-18

Committee findings

The Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee examined the Health Transparency Bill 2019 over six weeks, receiving 17 submissions and holding a public hearing. The committee recommended the bill be passed, finding widespread support for the transparency measures covering public and private health facilities and aged care. The committee made seven recommendations, including the establishment of an advisory committee of stakeholders and measures to avoid duplicating reporting burdens with Commonwealth requirements. LNP members filed a Statement of Reservation supporting the bill but questioning the evidence base for the 3.65-hour minimum daily care standard.

Key findings
  • Stakeholders broadly supported the bill's goal of making health facility and aged care information publicly available, with Health Consumers Queensland and the Queensland Nurses and Midwives' Union among strong supporters
  • The Royal Australian College of Surgeons and the Surgical Advisory Committee raised concerns about the accuracy of data sources, emphasising the need for facilities to verify reports before publication
  • Leading Age Services Australia opposed the bill, with over 95 per cent of surveyed aged care providers reporting they did not support it and citing additional reporting burdens with no clear benefit
  • The Commonwealth Department of Health criticised the bill as creating a reporting burden on providers with no clear benefits to consumers, a view the committee chair publicly rejected
  • The bill also amended the Health Ombudsman Act 2013 to improve the health complaints system, implementing three of four recommendations from a previous committee review
Recommendations
  • The committee recommends the Health Transparency Bill 2019 be passed.
  • The committee recommends that Queensland Health establish an Advisory Committee of external and internal stakeholders to provide feedback on existing reporting data and any proposed changes to the data to be published on the website.
  • The committee recommends that Queensland Health provide opportunity for facilities to publish contextual information on care facilities that will assist consumers understand the information reported on the website.
  • The committee recommends that Queensland Health, in consultation with a representative Advisory Committee, consider expanding residential aged care information to be reported to include skill mix data for aged care facilities in Queensland.
  • The committee recommends that Queensland Health give consideration to avoiding duplication of reporting burdens where possible, by aligning the format of reported information with the requirements of other reporting regimes.
  • The committee recommends that the Minister for Health and Minister for Ambulance Services, in the second reading speech, indicate how Queensland reporting requirements will align with possible future Commonwealth requirements, to minimise potential overlap in reporting obligations for facilities.
  • The committee recommends that the results of the research project as acknowledged by the Director-General, Queensland Health, on page 7 of the transcript of the public briefing of 9 October 2019, be made publicly available upon completion.
Dissenting views: LNP members Mark McArdle (Deputy Chair) and Martin Hunt filed a Statement of Reservation. They supported the bill and its recommendations but raised concerns about the minimum 3.65-hour daily resident care standard, noting the Acting Director-General acknowledged the figure had 'an arbitrariness' and that there was 'very little research' linking specific staffing levels to aged care outcomes. They also noted the standard would apply to only 16 state-owned aged care facilities, excluding 33 multipurpose health services and 11 transition health care programs also operated by Queensland Health. They further questioned whether the staffing ratio formula would guarantee individual residents the prescribed hours of care, noting the Director-General confirmed it would only be calculated as a facility-wide average.

Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018Recommended passagePASSED

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee: Report No. 18, 56th Parliament, February 2019-Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018, submission No 192019-04-03

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee: Report No. 18, 56th Parliament, February 2019-Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 20182019-02-14

Committee findings

The Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee examined this omnibus health bill over three months, receiving 42 submissions plus 82 form submissions and holding a public hearing on 24 January 2019. The committee recommended the bill be passed. While most amendments attracted broad support, the proposed changes to the Retirement Villages Act 1999 — requiring operators to buy back freehold units after 18 months — were contested by industry groups and prompted a Statement of Reservation from LNP members of the committee.

Key findings
  • Stakeholders broadly supported repealing the Public Health (Medicinal Cannabis) Act 2016 to remove unnecessary duplication of Commonwealth TGA approval processes, making medicinal cannabis more accessible to patients
  • The proposed Notifiable Dust Lung Disease Register received strong support from medical bodies and affected workers, particularly in response to emerging cases of silicosis in the engineered stone benchtop industry
  • The Property Council of Australia and retirement village operators raised significant concerns about requiring mandatory buy-back of freehold units, arguing it amounted to compulsory acquisition and was fundamentally different from leasehold arrangements
  • Amendments to the Transplantation and Anatomy Act were supported as common-sense changes to clarify tissue removal for paediatric research, reduce administrative burden on pathology laboratories, and allow non-invasive post-mortem techniques
  • The Local Government Association of Queensland raised concerns about pollution event notification powers, including the lack of a legislated contamination threshold and potential conflicts with disaster management reporting
Recommendations
  • The committee recommends the Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018 be passed.
Dissenting views: LNP members filed a Statement of Reservation focused on the Retirement Villages Act amendments. They argued the mandatory buy-back obligation for freehold units was fundamentally different from leasehold arrangements, where the operator already owns the property. They highlighted concerns from the Property Council of Australia that the amendment was akin to compulsory acquisition of freehold property, questioned the retrospective application to existing contracts, noted that no other Australian jurisdiction mandates compulsory purchase of freehold retirement village units, and pointed to the absence of a Regulatory Impact Statement for the committee's consideration. They also raised concerns about the impact on resident-operated freehold villages where there is no external operator.

Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018Recommended passagePASSED

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee: Report No. 17-Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018, government response2019-02-14

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee: Report No. 17, 56th Parliament-Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 20182019-02-04

Committee findings

The Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee examined the bill and recommended it be passed. The committee also recommended the Minister advise Parliament on the scope and timing of an education program to help health practitioners understand the new mandatory reporting requirements. The government supported both recommendations and outlined plans for AHPRA to lead a comprehensive education campaign targeting registered health practitioners, professional bodies, and employers.

Key findings
  • The bill raises the mandatory reporting threshold for treating practitioners so they only need to report when a practitioner-patient's conduct places the public at substantial risk of harm, encouraging practitioners to seek treatment without fear of being reported.
  • Mandatory reporting requirements for sexual misconduct are strengthened, including a new requirement to report risks of future sexual misconduct such as grooming.
  • Several stakeholders called for exemptions from mandatory reporting for practitioners in support and advisory roles, such as doctors' health advisory services, and AHPRA supported exemptions for health programs funded by national boards.
  • The committee emphasised the need for a comprehensive education campaign including case studies and practical examples to dispel myths about mandatory reporting requirements and outcomes.
  • The government committed to AHPRA delivering the education campaign in late 2019 and the first half of 2020, timed to coincide with revised National Board guidelines for mandatory reporting.
Recommendations
  • The committee recommends the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018 be passed.
  • The committee recommends the Minister for Health and Minister for Ambulance Services advise the House of the scope and timing of the proposed education program to raise awareness and understanding of the proposed mandatory reporting requirements.

Termination of Pregnancy Bill 2018Recommended passagePASSED

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee : Report No. 11, 56th Parliament - Termination of Pregnancy Bill 20182018-10-05

Committee findings

The Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee examined the Termination of Pregnancy Bill 2018 over approximately six weeks, receiving hundreds of submissions and holding public hearings in Cairns, Townsville and Brisbane, as well as travelling to Victoria to learn from that state's decade of experience with similar reforms. The committee recommended the bill be passed, treating termination of pregnancy as a health issue rather than a criminal matter. The committee also recommended a conscience vote (personal vote) for all members, given the sensitivity of the subject. Michael Berkman MP (Greens) filed a supporting statement calling for stronger safe access zone provisions and expanded public health system coverage of termination services.

Key findings
  • The bill represented the culmination of extensive prior work, including two previous bills withdrawn before debate and a thorough review by the Queensland Law Reform Commission that attracted nearly 1,200 submissions and made 28 recommendations
  • Terminations after 22 weeks' gestation were found to be rare (less than 1% of all terminations in Queensland in 2016) and generally involved complex medical circumstances such as severe foetal abnormalities
  • Victorian data showed that following decriminalisation in 2008, the rate of terminations for women aged 15-44 dropped by more than 25% by 2017, countering claims that reform would increase termination rates
  • The committee heard significant debate on conscientious objection provisions, with the bill requiring practitioners who object to refer patients to a non-objecting practitioner, while also protecting practitioners' right to hold personal beliefs
  • Safe access zones of 150 metres around termination service premises were proposed to protect the safety, wellbeing, privacy and dignity of people accessing services, with penalties for prohibited conduct
Recommendations
  • The committee recommends the Termination of Pregnancy Bill 2018 be passed.
  • The committee recommends that, in light of the sensitive subject matter and the history of consideration of termination of pregnancy and similar matters, the Termination of Pregnancy Bill 2018 be subject to a personal vote, otherwise known as a conscience vote, by Members in accordance with section 107 of the Standing Rules and Orders.
Dissenting views: Michael Berkman MP (Member for Maiwar, Greens) filed a statement supporting the committee's recommendations but raising additional concerns. He highlighted the extent of misinformation presented in opposition to the bill and urged members to rely on expert evidence. He called for stronger safe access zone provisions, endorsing Maurice Blackburn's recommendation to prohibit certain conduct without requiring proof of impact on the victim. He also argued that termination services should be expanded within the public health system, noting that 95% of terminations occurred in the private or NGO sector with out-of-pocket costs ranging from $250 to $5,000.

National Redress Scheme for Institutional Child Sexual Abuse (Commonwealth Powers) Bill 2018Recommended passagePASSED with amendment

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee : Report No. 8, 56th Parliament - National Redress Scheme for Institutional Child Sexual Abuse (Commonwealth Powers) Bill 20182018-08-09

Committee findings

The Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee examined the bill over approximately two months, receiving 16 submissions and holding a public hearing with five witnesses. The committee unanimously recommended the bill be passed, finding broad support from stakeholders including legal services, disability advocates, child protection organisations and care leaver groups. While submitters raised concerns about the $150,000 payment cap (below the Royal Commission's recommended $200,000), the exclusion of prisoners and those with serious criminal convictions, and limitations on review rights, the committee acknowledged these were matters of Commonwealth legislation that Queensland could not amend. Non-government members filed a statement of reservations raising additional issues from the Bar Association of Queensland's late submission.

Key findings
  • The bill had broad support from stakeholders, with all 16 submitters endorsing Queensland's participation in the National Redress Scheme
  • The committee identified several fundamental legislative principle concerns, including the requirement to forfeit civil litigation rights upon accepting redress and the lack of external review mechanisms
  • Approximately 10,000 redress applications were expected to relate to abuse in Queensland institutions, with about 5,000 relating to government-operated institutions
  • Several submitters raised concerns about groups excluded from the scheme, including non-citizens, prisoners, people with serious criminal convictions, and those who experienced non-sexual institutional abuse
  • The committee noted limitations on Queensland parliamentary sovereignty from adopting Commonwealth legislation but found these justified given the desirability of a uniform national approach
Recommendations
  • The committee recommends the National Redress Scheme for Institutional Child Sexual Abuse (Commonwealth Powers) Bill 2018 be passed.
Dissenting views: Non-government members Mark McArdle (Deputy Chair, Member for Caloundra) and Martin Hunt (Member for Nicklin) filed a Statement of Reservations. While agreeing the bill should be passed, they raised three issues from the Bar Association of Queensland's late submission that the committee had not been able to take departmental advice on: whether applicants can seek review of the amount of redress offered (not just rejection); how the scheme obtains information from defunct church institutions; and how redress payments are treated in family law proceedings. They also requested that members be allowed to debate each of the 193 sections of the National Redress Act in the schedule individually, rather than adopting the entire schedule as a single question.

Disability Services and Other Legislation (Worker Screening) Amendment Bill 2018Recommended passagePASSED

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee : Report No. 5, 56th Parliament - Disability Services and Other Legislation (Worker Screening) Amendment Bill 20182018-05-08

Committee findings

The Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee examined the bill over seven weeks, receiving four submissions and holding public hearings with the Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors and Age and Disability Advocacy Australia. Submitters were generally supportive of the bill's objectives and raised no concerns about specific clauses. The committee unanimously recommended the bill be passed, finding that its worker screening provisions were appropriate and that any impacts on individual rights and privacy were justified given the need to protect vulnerable people with disability.

Key findings
  • All four submitters were broadly supportive of the bill and its objectives, raising no concerns about specific clauses.
  • The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Disability Network of Queensland strongly supported rigorous worker screening and cautioned against any dilution of safeguards for vulnerable people with disability.
  • The committee found the offences and associated penalties were proportionate and relevant to the bill's objectives of ensuring consistent screening of disability support workers.
  • The committee accepted that breaches of privacy arising from sharing expanded criminal history information were justified to protect vulnerable persons from abuse, neglect and exploitation.
  • Existing exemptions from yellow card screening for family members providing disability support to relatives remain unaffected by the bill.
Recommendations
  • The committee recommends the Disability Services and Other Legislation (Worker Screening) Amendment Bill 2018 be passed.

Hospital Foundations Bill 2018Recommended passagePASSED with amendment

Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee : Report No. 3, 56th Parliament - Hospital Foundations Bill 20182018-03-15

Committee findings

The Health, Communities, Disability Services and Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Committee examined the Hospital Foundations Bill 2018 over one month, building on the former committee's thorough review of the substantially identical 2017 Bill. The committee received two submissions and a written briefing from the Department of Health, and recommended the bill be passed. No dissenting views were recorded.

Key findings
  • The bill was substantially the same as the Hospital Foundations Bill 2017, which had lapsed when Parliament was dissolved in October 2017.
  • Darling Downs HHS raised concerns that funds raised by a Hospital Foundation could be diverted away from the associated local health service, but the department advised that safeguards in the bill and existing oversight arrangements adequately addressed this risk.
  • The Queensland Nurses and Midwives' Union was concerned that removing prescriptive board membership requirements could result in boards lacking health expertise, but the committee accepted the department's advice that flexibility was needed, particularly in regional areas.
  • The committee was satisfied that the department's correspondence addressed the former committee's recommendations seeking clarification on ministerial approval for business acquisitions by gift and the interaction between clauses on property and special financial arrangements.
  • The committee found no issues with fundamental legislative principles beyond those already addressed in the former committee's report on the 2017 Bill.
Recommendations
  • The committee recommends the Hospital Foundations Bill 2018 be passed.
