Poor sanitation and high mortality, especially in young children, associated with infectious diseases were major public health issues in Queensland in the late nineteenth century and early in the twentieth century.

In 1875, Queensland's first Health Act was passed.

In 1884, amendments were made to Queensland's Health Act.

From April 1900, when there were 136 cases of bubonic plague resulting in 57 deaths recorded in Queensland, panic prevailed at the inadequacy of Queensland's health legislation to deal with the epidemic, and highlighting that changes to legislation were imperative. A Health Act was passed in that year resulting in the appointment of Dr Bertie Burnett Ham, Queensland's first Commissioner of Public Health on 1 January 1901, who was "empowered to deal with plague, infectious diseases, sanitation, food adulteration and child life protection."

In 1902, 11.2 per cent of legitimate infants died within the first year of life, and 29.3 per cent of illegitimate infants. Illegitimate children were often cared for by "baby famers". Obtaining uncontaminated milk was a problem at this time as well, with Health Department analyses finding that milk was adulterated with water, formalin and other preservatives, and that the by-laws for the management of dairies were not ensuring the level of hygiene required to keep the milk clean.
