National Injury Insurance Scheme (Queensland) Act 2016
LegislationReferenced in 2 bills
Debt Reduction and Savings Bill 2021
This bill implements the Queensland Government's debt reduction and savings plan by restructuring government agencies and transferring some functions to the private sector or other departments. It transfers the land titles registry to a new private operator, abolishes Building Queensland, the Queensland Productivity Commission, and the Public Safety Business Agency, and changes how the National Injury Insurance Scheme Agency is governed.
Motor Accident Insurance and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill tackles 'claim farming' - a growing problem where anonymous callers from local or overseas call centres contact Queenslanders after car accidents, often impersonating government agencies, to pressure them into making insurance claims. These callers then sell the victims' personal information to lawyers or claims services for a fee. The bill creates new criminal offences for this conduct and strengthens the Motor Accident Insurance Commission's powers to investigate and prosecute offenders.
