Queensland act
This law formally creates the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) as a standalone government organisation (called a "body corporate" — meaning it's a legal entity in its own right that can sign contracts, sue, and be sued). Previously, the QAS operated as a business unit inside a Queensland government department. From 1 July 2025, it becomes its own independent organisation.

The QAS is being upgraded from a government department unit into its own independent statutory body — think of it like converting an internal team into a standalone company, but one that's still owned and overseen by the Queensland Government. It gets more autonomy to run elite sport programs, enter sponsorships, charge fees, and partner with national sporting bodies — all aimed squarely at helping Queensland athletes win at the Olympics and Paralympics.
