Non-State Schools Accreditation Board
OrganisationReferenced in 7 bills
Education (Accreditation of Non-State Schools) Bill 2017
This bill replaces Queensland's 2001 law on non-State school accreditation with a modernised framework. It streamlines how independent and Catholic schools become accredited, gives the Non-State Schools Accreditation Board responsibility for deciding government funding eligibility, and strengthens inspection and investigation powers.
Education (Overseas Students) Bill 2017
This bill replaces Queensland's old overseas students law, creates a new statutory regime for international secondary student exchange programs, and sets up the legal framework for the new senior assessment system and ATAR that began with Year 11 students in 2019. It also makes minor amendments to home education rules, school councils and school terminology.
Trading (Allowable Hours) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022
This bill simplifies Queensland's shop trading hours system, strengthens protections for retail workers against being forced to work extended hours, and makes permanent the COVID-era rules allowing school P&C associations and teacher registration investigators to meet remotely.
Education and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016
This bill makes Prep the compulsory first year of school in Queensland and overhauls how teachers are regulated and disciplined. It also lets the government claw back overpaid funding from non-state schools and allows school regulators to share suspected criminal activity with police.
Education and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026
This bill delivers reforms across Queensland's education and arts portfolios. It reduces red tape for non-state schools, creates a legal framework for programs that re-engage disengaged students, expands international delivery of the Queensland Certificate of Education, modernises governance of five arts statutory bodies, and introduces anti-scalping protections for QPAC ticket resales.
Public Health and Other Legislation (Further Extension of Expiring Provisions) Amendment Bill 2021
This bill extended most of Queensland's temporary COVID-19 emergency laws until 30 April 2022, continuing the legal basis for public health directions, quarantine requirements, and support measures across multiple sectors. It also reformed the quarantine fee system to allow prepayment and third-party liability, and clarified that quarantine directions could be issued electronically.
Education (Overseas Students) Bill 2018
This bill modernises Queensland's regulation of schools that teach overseas students, introduces external exams for senior high school students, updates home education rules, and fixes an error that stopped regional shops from opening on Easter Saturday.
