It responds to expert reviews and national commitments to improve health outcomes.
Health Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025
This bill makes technical improvements to several health-related laws before they take full effect.

Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill reforms several health-related regulatory frameworks in Queensland. It repeals the state's medicinal cannabis approval system (which duplicated Commonwealth processes), establishes a register to track occupational dust lung diseases like coal workers' pneumoconiosis, empowers health authorities to require public notices about pollution events, and ensures freehold retirement village residents receive timely payment when they leave.

This bill ended Queensland's COVID-19 emergency powers and replaced them with more limited, time-bound powers expiring on 31 October 2023.
