Do you mean you can't transfer a firearm in Qld that is not inspected to be in safe working condition?
In theory yes....however it doesn't always happen in practice.
If the licensed dealer believes the firearm is not safe to use or is not properly disabled(needs a cert) then they can block the sale.
I've traded a lot of firearms, over many years, and through many dealers, and NEVER had is suggested that a f/a dealer is supposed to check the safe functionality of the firearm been transferred.
Perhaps you can point us in the direction of the relevant section of the Act or Regulation that pertains to that requirement.
Actually its info given to me by my LGS who has been trading in firearms for around forty years
OK, so it's not a legal (legislated) requirement.
Just something your LGS has chosen to do, without any actual requirement to do so.
