Disability Services (Restrictive Practices) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024

This bill reforms Queensland's system for authorising restrictive practices used with people with disability. It replaces decisions by guardians and tribunals with a new Senior Practitioner who makes all authorisation decisions based on clinical evidence and behaviour support plans, aiming to reduce and eventually eliminate the use of restraint, seclusion and containment.

Child Safe Organisations Bill 2024

This bill creates Queensland's child safe organisations system, implementing key recommendations from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. It requires organisations working with children to meet 10 Child Safe Standards and establishes a Reportable Conduct Scheme where allegations of child abuse by workers must be reported to and investigated under the oversight of the Queensland Family and Child Commission.
