Child Protection (Offender Prohibition Order) Act 2008

Child Protection (Offender Reporting) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016

This bill merges Queensland's two child sex offender laws into a single combined Act, tightens the rules that reportable offenders must follow, and gives police new powers to inspect the phones and computers of offenders most at risk of reoffending. It responds to a 2013 review by the Crime and Corruption Commission and is aimed at helping police intervene before further offences occur.
