Prime Minister Scott Morrison hasn't been properly briefed about Queensland's quarantine camp proposal by his own department, the premier says.
The Wagner Corporation wants to build a COVID-19 quarantine facility that would host up to 1000 travellers and 300 staff at Wellcamp near Toowoomba.
The federal government has repeatedly said the plan lacks crucial detail such who will run the health operations and how much it would coast.
Annastacia Palaszczuk won't put a price tag on the facility but insists the prime minister has all the information required.
"The prime minister should be getting thorough briefings from his department, and working respectfully with each and every leader, about these crucial issues that will keep Australians safe," she told reporters.
Ms Palaszczuk said regional quarantine will keep potential COVID-19 cases out of major cities and allow freedom of movement along Australia's east coast.
The federal government was both failing to take over national quarantine and blocking Queensland from setting up a safer system, she said
"If you want to keep Queenslanders and Australians safe why would you not explore every single option," the premier told ABC TV.
"Why would you not put all of your cards on the table and think: 'What more can I do to keep Australians safe?' It's pretty basic."
Ms Palaszczuk cast doubt on 'vaccination passports' that would allow vaccinated Australians to avoid lockdowns and border closures.
She also questioned whether that idea had been looked at in detail by the prime minister.
"Perhaps it needs to go to the prime minister's federal cabinet first for them to have a discussion to see what they think of the idea," she said.
Meanwhile, the premier confirmed Queensland would not have mass vaccination centres set up until October at the earliest, and potentially later.
Hubs are already operating in Sydney and Melbourne, but Ms Palaszczuk said it's easier for those states.
"We've actually got a very decentralised state here so it's a lot easier to do it in Melbourne and Sydney," she told Seven Network.
However, the federal government gave approval for up to 56 pharmacies in regional and remote areas to join the vaccination drive on Thursday.
Queensland has also launched a campaign to encourage more people to move to the state to work in the tourism industry.
People will be offered a $1500 cash incentive to relocate for employment in the tourism industry, and a $250 travel bonus.
Tourism Minister Stirling Hinchliffe said a recent tourism marketing campaign had been extremely successful in wooing interstate holidaymakers.
Just two months ago, the state was begging the federal government to extend Jobkeeper for tourism operators, but demand is now so high the sector is facing staff shortages.
"We need staff, and you can be those staff, have an adventure in paradise, work in paradise, have an extraordinary experience, and we'll help you get here, and provide some incentives for you to start," he said.
