Victorian police are seeking legal advice on whether they can mirror Queensland's controversial new laws that declare outlaw motorcycle gangs criminal organisations.

Labelled by Queensland Premier Campbell Newman as "the toughest laws in the nation", the new anti-association laws make it illegal for criminal motorcycle gang members to fraternise together, wear their colours in certain areas, own or work in tattoo parlours, or visit one of 40 "proscribed" addresses.

Members of the Bandidos, one of the bikie gangs Queensland has come down hard on.

The legislation names 26 "criminal organisations" including the Bandidos, Finks and Mongols. It restricts their members' and associates' movements and meetings, and increases minimum sentences for their crimes.

On Monday night, Senior Constable Adam West of Victoria Police confirmed senior officers were seeking advice on whether they could follow Queensland's example.
