Changes to Adoption Laws in Queensland
Practice Area(s): Family Law
In brief: The Queensland government has announced the first major
review of adoption laws since the 1960s. Queensland is the only state or

a greater emphasis upon the needs and best interests of children affected
by adoption.
The government is presently considering submissions made by various
interested groups and it is anticipated that announcements will be made in
the near future as to the outcome of the review. Further information may be
obtained from the Adoption Legislation Review Team on 1800 811 810.
