Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority
OrganisationReferenced in 3 bills
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.
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.
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.
