Respect at Work and Other Matters Amendment Act 2024

Strengthening Protections for Queensland Workers Amendment Bill 2026

This bill implements workplace anti-discrimination reforms that were passed by the previous government in 2024 but indefinitely delayed. It strengthens Queensland's Anti-Discrimination Act by adding new protections against sex-based harassment and hostile work environments, expanding the attributes protected from discrimination to include homelessness and domestic violence, and requiring employers to proactively prevent discrimination rather than just respond to complaints.
