Legislation

The Education (Accreditation of Non-State Schools) Act 2017 (the 'Act') and the Education (Accreditation of Non-State Schools) Regulation 2017 determine the operations of the Board.

The statutory objectives of the Act are to:

• uphold the standards of education at non-State schools
• maintain public confidence in the operation of non-State schools
• foster educational choices in the State

The objects of the Act are achieved mainly by:

• establishing the Board
• establishing an accreditation regime for the accreditation of non-State schools
• establishing a process for deciding the eligibility of a non-State school’s governing body for government funding for the non-State school

Other legal requirements may be relevant to the establishment and operation of a non-State school in Queensland, for example, child safety and workplace health and safety. These are available on the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel website.
