The Trusts Act 2025 (Qld) was passed on 1 May 2025, with section 2 providing that the Act will commence on a date to be proclaimed.
Attorney-General Deb Frecklington intends to ask the Governor to proclaim 28 April 2026 as the commencement date for the Act.
On commencement, the current Trusts Act 1973 will be repealed and replaced by the new Act.
The Explanatory Notes for the Trusts Bill 2025 (available here) set out the policy objectives of the new Act and how the policy objectives are achieved.
