Public Health Measures linked to vaccination status – a plan for 80% and beyond

Public Health and Other Legislation (Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2022

This bill extended Queensland's COVID-19 public health emergency powers from 30 April 2022 to 31 October 2022, while allowing most other temporary COVID-19 measures to expire. It kept in place the Chief Health Officer's power to issue public health directions, emergency powers in corrective services and disaster management, and mental health patient leave provisions, with all measures tied to the ongoing public health emergency declaration.
