OrganisationReferenced in 3 bills
Pharmacy Business Ownership Bill 2023
This bill creates a new licensing system for pharmacy ownership in Queensland, replacing the outdated 2001 Act. It establishes an independent Queensland Pharmacy Business Ownership Council to regulate who can own pharmacies and enforce compliance. The bill retains existing restrictions limiting pharmacy ownership to pharmacists while adding new transparency measures and prohibiting pharmacies in supermarkets.
Health Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025
This bill makes technical improvements to several health-related laws before they take full effect. It clarifies pharmacy ownership rules, moves dust lung disease reporting to a national system, allows mosquito traps to be left on properties to detect Japanese Encephalitis Virus, and fixes minor issues in mental health and radiation safety legislation.
Health Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 3) 2025
This bill makes wide-ranging changes to eight Queensland health laws. The main reforms include strengthening oversight of IVF clinics while adding flexibility for families facing hardship, allowing the government to remove health board members more easily, requiring cosmetic surgery facilities to meet new national safety standards, and creating a legal framework to maximise organ donation opportunities.
