Nature Conservation and Other Legislation (Indigenous Joint Management - Moreton Island) Amendment Bill 2020
This bill enables joint management of Moreton Island's national parks and conservation areas between the Queensland Government and the Quandamooka People, following the Federal Court's recognition of their native title in 2019. It transfers protected area land to the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation as Aboriginal land while maintaining its conservation status through a jointly managed arrangement.
Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill makes a range of improvements to Queensland's workers' compensation scheme following a five-yearly independent review, strengthens protections for apprentices and trainees, requires Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander representation on the TAFE Queensland Board, and repeals the now-redundant Commonwealth Games Arrangements Act 2011.
Health Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 3) 2025
This bill amends eight Queensland health laws to fix practical problems with fertility clinic regulation, strengthen the government's power to remove health board members, introduce mandatory cosmetic surgery standards for private hospitals, and create a legal framework for organ donation procedures before a donor's death. It also streamlines private hospital data sharing and updates disease notification requirements.
Police Powers and Responsibilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes wide-ranging changes to Queensland police powers and several other Acts. Its most significant reforms create new search powers for high-risk missing persons, strengthen the framework for investigating drivers who flee police, enable court-ordered access to locked electronic devices at crime scenes, and streamline parole board decision-making for serious offenders.
Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023

It transfers heavy vehicle regulatory services to the national regulator, strengthens road safety rules for e-scooters and bicycles on footpaths, introduces consistent safety duties for all road-based public passenger services, and modernises the process for dealing with toll demand notices.
