Health and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2022 (Qld)
01/01/2022
Madeline Roberts
The Act amends several previous Acts to facilitate initiatives that promote Queenslanders’ health, to support the provision of health services in Queensland and to improve the operation of health portfolio and related legislation. Of particular interest is the amendment to strengthen protections for the physical and psychological wellbeing of the public health workforce by requiring Hospital and Health Boards and Hospital and Health Services to proactively consider the health, safety and wellbeing of staff of public sector health service facilities.
