Commonwealth Powers (Family Law - Children) Act 1990

Child Protection Reform and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2021

This bill makes wide-ranging reforms to Queensland's child protection system and blue card (working with children check) framework. It strengthens the rights of children in care, ensures their voices are genuinely heard in decisions affecting them, modernises the regulation of foster, kinship and licensed care, and connects Queensland to a national system for screening people who work with children.
