Victims' Commissioner and Sexual Violence Review Board Bill 2024
This bill creates a Victims' Commissioner to advocate for crime victims and handle complaints about breaches of their rights. It also establishes a Sexual Violence Review Board to examine systemic problems in how sexual offences are reported, investigated and prosecuted. The reforms follow the Women's Safety and Justice Taskforce's Hear Her Voice reports.
Community Services Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Bill 2019
This bill creates a portable long service leave scheme for Queensland's community services industry. Workers in this sector often move between employers due to short-term funding arrangements, making it hard to reach the 10 years of continuous service usually needed for long service leave. The scheme allows workers to accumulate leave credits across multiple employers, with entitlements payable after 7 years of industry service.
