Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill amends nine health-related Acts to improve how Queensland's health system operates. It strengthens wellbeing protections for health workers, modernises cancer data collection, enables electronic recording of mental health tribunal proceedings, and streamlines several administrative processes including organ donation consent and school vision screening.
Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill makes significant reforms across Queensland's health system, including banning conversion therapy by health service providers, embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health equity in law, and aligning private hospital licensing with national safety standards. It responds to expert reviews and national commitments to improve health outcomes.
Hospital Foundations Bill 2018
This bill modernises the governance of Queensland's 13 hospital foundations and allows industrial hemp to be grown for food products. It replaces the outdated 1982 legislation governing hospital foundations with modern rules that better reflect how these charitable bodies actually operate, while also enabling Queensland farmers to grow low-THC hemp for the food market following a national decision to permit hemp seed foods.
