This review was the first holistic consideration of the Act since its introduction 30 years ago and provided a valuable opportunity to make sure our law is keeping up to date with the changing needs of our society.
The final report was handed to the Attorney-General on 29 July 2022 and tabled in parliament on 1 September 2022.
In April 2023, the Queensland Government published its response to the Building Belong report, confirming its in-principle support for all recommendations, including to repeal and replace the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 within the current term of government.
The review's recommendations were to be partially implemented through reforms to the Anti-Discrimination Act passed by state parliament in September 2024.
On 14 March 2025, the Queensland Government announced that these reforms will be paused to allow for further consultation. A new date for their commencement has not yet been confirmed.
