Labour Hire Licensing Act 2017
LegislationReferenced in 3 bills
Queensland Building and Construction Commission and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill modernises the Queensland Building and Construction Commission by removing the requirement for physical licence cards and enabling digital alternatives. It also streamlines workplace safety reporting so that building industry licensees only need to notify one regulator of safety incidents, rather than reporting the same incident to both the QBCC and workplace safety regulators.
Community Services Industry (Portable Long Service Leave) Bill 2019
This bill creates a portable long service leave scheme for Queensland's community services industry. Workers in this sector often move between employers due to short-term funding arrangements, making it hard to reach the 10 years of continuous service usually needed for long service leave. The scheme allows workers to accumulate leave credits across multiple employers, with entitlements payable after 7 years of industry service.
Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill implements 26 recommendations from the 2023 Review of Queensland's workers' compensation scheme to improve support for injured workers. It requires faster rehabilitation planning, prevents secondary psychological injuries, expands cancer protections for firefighters, and creates a framework for future gig worker coverage. The bill also increases parental leave entitlements and requires superannuation contributions for Queensland public sector employees.
