According to a local report, the girl had been on the bus since 9.30am.
Temps in Rockhampton reached 29C on Wednesday.
A vehicle in 29C temperatures for more than an hour brings it to over 50C, according to a heat calculator.
Cops are understood to be interviewing staff at the centre and are inspecting a white minivan.
Queensland Ambulance Service paramedic Jason Thompson was at the scene when the girl was found.
