About Treasury
Right to information
We are committed to providing access to information held by us, unless on balance it is contrary to the public interest to provide that information
The Right to Information Act 2009 (RTI Act) and Information Privacy Act (2009) (IP Act):
- makes information held by the Government available.
- provides equal access to it across all sectors of the community.
- provides appropriate protection for individuals’ privacy.
How do I access Information?
There are several ways to access information held by Queensland Treasury. These include:
- Publication Scheme Information
- Disclosure Log Information
- Administrative Release of Information
- Right to Information and Information Privacy Access Applications
Visit the Office of the Information Commissioner about accessing information held by Government.
What is available on our website?
- Publication Scheme — which has our routinely released information organised into categories.
- Disclosure Log — which has information previously released through RTI applications.
What is an administrative release?
Queensland Treasury facilitates the proactive release of certain information to the public through administrative release.
Administrative release refers to the release of government-held information without the need for a formal request under the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld) (RTI Act) and Information Privacy Act 2009 (IP Act).
It is an easier, faster and cheaper way to access information.
If you would like to discuss applying for administrative release of information, please contact us on 07 3035 3306 or by email rtiadmin@treasury.qld.gov.au
Right to Information or Information Privacy access applications
If the information you seek is not already available, you can make an RTI or IP application for any information we hold. Under the RTI Act or IP Act you can only apply to access documents.
You can’t use this process to ask for general information or for answers to your questions.
You can apply for documents by submitting an access application online.
We may not be able to give you access to all the documents you request, as some documents are exempt from release.
If we refuse access to the information you have asked for, you may be able to seek a review of the decision. See the Office of the Information Commissioner for details.
Is there a fee to make an application?
All RTI applications have an initial fee. This fee cannot be waived. The application fee is payable by credit card. The application fee for RTI applications must be paid before your application can be processed. There is no application fee for IP applications.
In addition to the RTI application fee, you may be charged for:
- processing (if your application takes longer than five hours to process)
- access to documents (no access charges are payable if documents are provided electronically).
More information on fees and charges can be found here.
If you are unable to use this online process, please contact us on 07 3035 3306 or by email rtiadmin@treasury.qld.gov.au to discuss alternatives.
