Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth)
LegislationReferenced in 5 bills
Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill amends eight health-related Acts to strengthen protections for public health workers, modernise cancer data collection, enable electronic recording of Mental Health Review Tribunal proceedings, expand school vision screening, streamline organ donation consent, and update various administrative processes across Queensland's health system.
Medicines and Poisons Bill 2019
This bill repeals Queensland's 80-year-old medicines and poisons laws and replaces them with a single modern framework. It streamlines licensing for businesses that manufacture, wholesale or sell medicines and poisons, introduces real-time monitoring of prescriptions for opioids and other dependence-forming drugs, and makes it easier for GPs to prescribe medicinal cannabis.
Therapeutic Goods Bill 2019
This bill adopts the Commonwealth Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 as a law of Queensland, ensuring all manufacturers of therapeutic goods — including sole traders and partnerships — meet national safety and quality standards. It closes a regulatory gap where small manufacturers trading only within Queensland were not subject to any therapeutic goods regulation.
Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill puts frontline health workers on hospital boards and cracks down on illegal vaping. It requires each Hospital and Health Board to include at least one doctor, nurse or allied health professional who actually works at that hospital, delivering on a 2024 election commitment. It also allows Queensland Health to immediately destroy seized vaping products instead of storing them for weeks, and lets courts make convicted sellers pay enforcement costs.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products (Vaping) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill gives Queensland stronger powers to enforce the national ban on recreational vaping and crack down on the illegal sale of vapes and tobacco. It creates new offences for supplying and possessing illicit nicotine products (including vapes and nicotine pouches), dramatically increases penalties, and introduces powers to close non-compliant shops and seek court injunctions against repeat offenders.
