Does my daughter need to seek full custody of children when her ex goes to jail in Qld? Does he have any say in the matter if he's in jail? What happens when he gets out if she's had informal full custody while he's in jail?

Do they have court orders? consent orders? What has been the arrangement for child access up to jail time? What is he in jail for?

The more details you give the more accurate the answers

No need to undertake action now unless your daughter has problems with DHS (or QLD equiv).

Wait till he gets out and figure what to do at that time.
