LegislationReferenced in 2 bills
Health Legislation Amendment Bill 2026
This bill changes six Queensland health laws at once. It gives Queensland Health power to acquire land directly for new and expanded hospitals, makes a series of mental health law changes, bans pharmacy-supermarket links online, helps schools follow up on adolescent immunisations, requires hepatitis C RNA tests to be reported, and speeds up the destruction of seized illicit tobacco and vapes.
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.
