The Labor opposition has raised concerns about how violent or radicalised students will be monitored after their removal from schools under proposed changes to suspension policies.

The changes, which will be introduced to Parliament this week, will allow for students who "pose a threat to safety" to be "prohibited from attending school until the risk to health and safety posed by that student can be assessed", Education Minister Rob Stokes says.

The new laws will apply to students who have committed violent or other serious crimes, including cyberbullying, supported terrorism or are deemed a potential risk to students or staff, "even if that conduct occurred outside school grounds or school hours".

"The main aim of the changes is to close gaps in existing legislation that mean there are limited powers to remove students that pose a threat," according to the statement.
