The body said its aim was to ensure people in years 1 to 12 in Queensland state schools were given the opportunity to question and explore faith, values and their cultural expression in a safe and supportive environment.

Religious instruction (RI) is available at 746 state schools, with principals required to approve each curriculum before approving it in their school in 2019.
