Health Transparency Bill 2019
This bill requires Queensland hospitals and aged care facilities to publicly report quality and staffing information so consumers can make informed choices. It also sets minimum staffing ratios for public aged care facilities and streamlines health complaint handling between the Health Ombudsman and national regulators.
Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms how cancelled or disqualified health practitioners can regain their registration, increases transparency about practitioners found guilty of sexual misconduct, and strengthens protections for people who report concerns. It amends the national framework regulating Australia's 16 registered health professions.
Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill
This bill would have strengthened patient safety by making it harder for health practitioners with serious misconduct to regain their registration, permanently publishing sexual misconduct findings on public registers, and protecting people who report concerns about practitioners. It lapsed when the 57th Parliament ended and did not become law.
