LegislationReferenced in 13 bills
Labour Hire Licensing Bill 2017
This bill sets up a mandatory licensing scheme for labour hire companies in Queensland to crack down on worker exploitation and restore confidence in the industry. Providers must be licensed, pass a fit and proper person test and report every six months, while businesses that use them must only engage licensed operators. A public register and a new inspectorate back the scheme up, with penalties of up to three years' imprisonment or $3,000+ penalty units for corporations.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill implements several 2025-26 State Budget measures and makes other amendments across seven Acts. It extends the doubled First Home Owner Grant and the apprentice payroll tax rebate, introduces contingency windfall taxes to protect foreign surcharge revenue, reforms how Budget Estimates hearings are chaired, and clarifies SPER registration fee rules.
Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019
This bill improves Queensland's workers' compensation scheme based on a major independent review, strengthens protections for apprentices and trainees, and requires Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander representation on the TAFE Queensland Board. It also repeals the redundant Commonwealth Games Arrangements Act 2011.
Revenue Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill implements a range of revenue measures from the 2021-22 and 2022-23 Queensland State Budgets. It introduces a new mental health levy on large employers, reforms land tax to account for interstate property holdings, increases coal royalty rates during periods of high prices, and provides tax relief for small businesses, apprentice employers, and retirement visa holders.
Queensland Training Assets Management Authority Repeal Bill 2015
This bill abolishes the Queensland Training Assets Management Authority (QTAMA) and returns control of the state's vocational training assets - such as TAFE campuses and equipment - to the Department of Education and Training. It delivers the Government's 'Rescuing TAFE' election commitment so that TAFE Queensland has priority access to state-owned training facilities rather than competing for them on commercial terms.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016
This bill makes a range of technical changes to Queensland's tax, superannuation, and government planning laws. It tightens a stamp duty home concession rule, backdates several tax exemptions that have been run administratively, lets State and Local Government employees choose their own super fund, opens QSuper and LGIAsuper to everyone, and cuts duplicated Queensland Plan reporting.
Ministerial and Other Office Holder Staff and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill gives the Director-General of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and the Clerk of the Parliament formal legal authority to conduct criminal history checks on people working in ministerial offices, electorate offices, and the Parliamentary Service. It formalises interim arrangements that were already in place since December 2017, bringing these checks in line with the powers that already exist for Queensland public service employees.
Education (General Provisions) Amendment Bill 2025
This bill amends Queensland's Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 to reduce red tape for schools, parents and students, and to strengthen student safety when children transfer between schools. It implements a Royal Commission recommendation to make student transfer notes mandatory, streamlines consent for digital learning platforms, extends home education eligibility, and modernises the rules for Parents and Citizens' Associations.
Revenue Legislation Amendment Bill 2023
This bill implements several 2023-24 State Budget revenue measures and makes technical amendments to Queensland tax legislation. It creates tax concessions to encourage build-to-rent housing developments with affordable housing, simplifies the land tax home exemption, extends payroll tax relief for regional employers and apprentice wages, and closes off common law tax refund claims.
Revenue and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill implements several 2024-25 State Budget revenue measures. It makes it cheaper for first home buyers by increasing stamp duty concession thresholds and doubling the First Home Owner Grant to $30,000, while raising surcharges on foreign and absentee property owners and extending payroll tax rebates for apprentice and trainee wages.
Industrial Relations Bill 2016
This bill replaces Queensland's Industrial Relations Act 1999 with an entirely new framework governing work for the state's public service, local councils and Brisbane City Council. It sets new minimum employment conditions, makes collective bargaining the main way to negotiate pay and conditions, introduces paid domestic and family violence leave for the first time, and makes Easter Sunday a public holiday from 2017.
Further Education and Training (Training Ombudsman) and Another Act Amendment Bill 2015
This bill creates an independent Training Ombudsman for Queensland to handle complaints about vocational education and training, apprenticeships, and traineeships. The Ombudsman is an independent statutory position appointed by the Governor in Council and backed by a public service office, with powers to investigate, refer, and report on complaints.
Plumbing and Drainage and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2015
This bill sets up a new plumbing industry regulator inside the Queensland Building and Construction Commission, strengthens protections for renters against unfair tenancy database listings, lets community housing providers give tenancy guarantees to private landlords, and confirms that public housing development has been lawfully carried out.
