Guideline for farmstay operators (QLD)
Queensland Government
This guideline provides general information about some of the obligations that farmstay operators need to be aware of, with a particular focus on those that ensure the safety of farmstay guests. This guideline does not seek to cover all possible considerations or legislative requirements that may apply to any particular farmstay operation and provides only general advice.
Much of the information provided in this guideline is also relevant where worker or volunteer accommodation is provided, however operators should be aware that in these cases additional requirements relating to employees are likely to apply. These are not covered in this guideline and further specific advice should be sought on obligations relating to employees.
