Relationship laws
- Same-sex de facto partners provided with most of the entitlements of married partners
- Civil union scheme enacted in December 2011 but then watered down in June 2012. The scheme originally allowed for an official ceremony, and automatically recognised interstate civil unions and overseas civil unions and same-sex marriages as Queensland civil unions. Now the official ceremony has been removed, there is no recognition of overseas same-sex marriages or civil unions and the scheme has been re-titled as a relationship register.
- No state same-sex marriage legislation proposed
Parenting laws
- Same-sex partners have access to reproductive technology and can be recognised on birth certificates. They have parity in surrogacy but not adoption.
