Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2026
This bill changes six Queensland health laws at once. It gives Queensland Health power to acquire land directly for new and expanded hospitals, makes a series of mental health law changes, bans pharmacy-supermarket links online, helps schools follow up on adolescent immunisations, requires hepatitis C RNA tests to be reported, and speeds up the destruction of seized illicit tobacco and vapes.
Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation (Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2017
This bill improves workers' compensation for Queensland coal miners and others with dust-related lung diseases, sets up a committee so families of workers killed or seriously injured at work have a formal voice, and strengthens electrical licensing safety rules. It responds to the re-identification of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) in Queensland.
Strengthening Protections for Queensland Workers Amendment Bill 2026
This bill implements workplace anti-discrimination reforms that were passed by the previous government in 2024 but indefinitely delayed. It strengthens Queensland's Anti-Discrimination Act by adding new protections against sex-based harassment and hostile work environments, expanding the attributes protected from discrimination to include homelessness and domestic violence, and requiring employers to proactively prevent discrimination rather than just respond to complaints.
