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.
Health and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2016
This bill makes a set of changes across health, research and criminal law. It equalises Queensland's age of consent at 16 for all sexual activity, gives GPs access to hospital records through a system called The Viewer, streamlines research use of patient data, lets schools share student details with immunisation and dental providers, and frees QIMR Berghofer to pay research bonuses up to $10 million a year without Cabinet approval.
