Jobs Queensland Act 2015
LegislationReferenced in 4 bills
Healthy Futures Commission Queensland Bill 2017
This bill creates a new independent state body called the Healthy Futures Commission Queensland, focused on helping children and families live healthier lives. The Commission will fund community projects, partnerships and research aimed at promoting healthy eating, physical activity and reducing health gaps between different Queensland communities.
Hospital Foundations Bill 2017
This bill does two things: it replaces Queensland's 1982 law for hospital foundations with a modern framework for how these charities support public hospitals, and it amends drug laws to let Queensland farmers grow low-THC hemp for food. The changes modernise foundation governance and open Queensland to the new national hemp food market starting 12 November 2017.
Jobs Queensland Bill 2015
This bill creates Jobs Queensland, a new independent body that advises the state government on what skills Queensland will need, how to plan for future workforce needs, and how the apprenticeship and traineeship system should work. It is intended to give industry, unions, and regional Queensland a stronger voice in shaping training priorities.
Small Business Commissioner Bill 2021
This bill permanently establishes a Queensland Small Business Commissioner to provide advice, advocacy, and affordable dispute resolution for small businesses. It replaces the temporary commissioner created during COVID-19 with a permanent statutory office and transfers administration of retail tenancy dispute mediation to the new commissioner.
