Notifiable Dust Lung Disease Register

Health Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025 (Qld) – Transition to the National Occupational Respiratory Disease Registry

The Health Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025 was introduced to Parliament on 22 May 2025. The Bill includes changes to the Public Health Act 2005 and supporting regulation that would transition the notification of all diagnoses of ‘notifiable dust lung diseases’ from the Queensland Notifiable Dust Lung Disease Register to the National Occupational Respiratory Disease Registry.

The Bill has been referred to the Health, Environment and Innovation Committee.

The current notification requirements remain unchanged until these amendments come into effect.

This website will continue to be updated regarding the progress of the proposed amendments.
