Education and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026

This bill makes a broad set of changes across Queensland's education and arts portfolios. For education, it streamlines how private schools are accredited, lets schools use temporary sites in emergencies, formally recognises schooling in youth detention, supports programs that re-engage disengaged students, and lets Queensland private schools deliver the senior certificate overseas. For the arts, it modernises governance of five state arts bodies and makes scalping tickets at QPAC an offence.
