Health Legislation Amendment Act 2025
LegislationReferenced in 3 bills
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.
Tobacco and Other Smoking Products (Dismantling Illegal Trade) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill gives Queensland Health significantly stronger powers to shut down shops selling illegal tobacco and vapes, and hold their landlords accountable. It responds to the rapid growth of the illicit tobacco and vaping market, which is increasingly linked to organised crime and poses serious public health risks, particularly for young people.
Health Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 3) 2025
This bill amends eight Queensland health Acts to fix implementation issues with the new fertility clinic regulatory framework, create a legal basis for organ donation procedures before circulatory death, require cosmetic surgery safety standards at private hospitals, and give the government broader powers to remove health board members. It is the third health legislation amendment bill for 2025.
