OrganisationReferenced in 2 bills
Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements reforms across gambling, wagering and charitable fundraising sectors following casino integrity failures in other states. It strengthens casino regulation with new duties and penalties up to $50 million, modernises gambling laws for cashless payments, allows betting on simulated racing events at retail outlets, extends New Year's Eve gaming hours, and lets nationally-registered charities fundraise in Queensland without separate state approval.
Associations Incorporation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill modernises the rules for Queensland's 22,660 incorporated associations and charitable organisations. It cuts red tape by allowing groups registered with the national charities regulator to avoid submitting duplicate financial reports to Queensland, introduces clearer governance standards for committee members, and updates processes that had not been reformed since 2007.
