Associations Incorporation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill modernises the rules for Queensland's 22,660 incorporated associations and charitable organisations. It cuts red tape by allowing groups registered with the national charities regulator to avoid submitting duplicate financial reports to Queensland, introduces clearer governance standards for committee members, and updates processes that had not been reformed since 2007.
Industrial Relations and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements major reforms to Queensland's industrial relations system following a five-year review. It strengthens workplace sexual harassment protections, creates a framework for minimum standards for gig economy courier drivers, modernises parental leave, and enhances equal remuneration requirements in enterprise bargaining.
Meriba Omasker Kaziw Kazipa (Torres Strait Islander Traditional Child Rearing Practice) Bill 2020
This bill creates Australia's first legal framework to recognise Torres Strait Islander traditional child rearing practice (Ailan Kastom), where children are raised by cultural parents within extended family networks. It allows families to apply for cultural recognition orders that transfer legal parentage from birth parents to cultural parents, reflected on new birth certificates.
