The amendment you need to know about — before it commences.
I track Bills, amendments, assent dates, and commencement provisions across all Australian jurisdictions and alert you when something changes in your practice areas.
I monitor legislation across all eight Australian state and territory parliaments plus the Commonwealth Parliament. I track Bills from introduction through committee, amendment, assent, and commencement — and alert you when changes affect the practice areas and jurisdictions you care about. Each alert includes the specific provision, a plain-English summary of the change, and the commencement date so you know when it takes effect.
What changes
You check the parliamentary websites when you remember. A Bill amending limitation periods in your state passed three weeks ago and you find out when a colleague mentions it at a CPD event.
I flag the Bill when it is introduced, again when it passes, and again when it commences — with a note on which of your active matters are affected by the new limitation period.
From upload to output
Set your watch list
Select jurisdictions and practice areas. I monitor the relevant Acts, regulations, and Bills automatically — no need to specify individual provisions.
I track legislative activity
I monitor parliamentary calendars, Bills databases, gazette notices, and regulation registers across all selected jurisdictions. Daily checks, not monthly.
Get alerts with context
When a Bill is introduced, amended, passed, or commenced that affects your watch list, I send an alert with the provision, a summary of the change, and the commencement date.
Assess client impact
I cross-reference legislative changes against your active matter list and flag which matters are affected — so the advice is proactive, not reactive.

A real example
You practise family law in Victoria. The Family Law Amendment Bill introduces changes to property settlement provisions that will affect how contributions are assessed in long marriages.
Your watch list includes family law across Federal and Victorian jurisdictions.
I flag the Bill at introduction with a summary of the key amendments. When the Bill passes with amendments, I send an updated alert noting the changes from the introduced version. When the commencement date is gazetted, I alert again with the effective date and flag 4 active matters where the new contribution assessment framework may affect your advice.

Legislation Tracking FAQs
How quickly does Quillio pick up new Bills?
Most Bills are flagged within 24 hours of introduction. For jurisdictions with electronic Bills databases (all major jurisdictions), the lag is typically under 12 hours.
Does it track subordinate legislation?
Yes. Regulations, rules, and other subordinate instruments are tracked alongside primary legislation. This matters in practice areas like WHS, planning, and environmental law where the substantive requirements are often in the regulations.
Can I share legislative updates with clients?
Yes. I generate client-ready legislative update summaries — plain-English, branded to your firm, with the key change and the commencement date. Useful for client newsletters or proactive advice.
Does it cover New Zealand legislation?
NZ parliamentary tracking is on the roadmap. Currently, I cover all eight Australian state/territory jurisdictions plus Commonwealth. NZ coverage is planned for later this year.
