Right to information

Right to Information (RTI) is the Queensland Government’s approach to giving the community greater access 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:

  • makes more information held by the Government available
  • provides equal access to it across all sectors of the community.

For more information about your RTI rights, visit the Queensland Government RTI website.

For information about your access to personal information, visit our Privacy page.

How to access information

Search for information

Before applying for information, you should check first to see if it is available online.

Our website also has:

  • a publication scheme — which has our routinely released information organised into categories
  • a disclosure log — which has information previously released through RTI applications.

Please contact us if you cannot find the information you are after, as we may be able to provide it to you if it’s routine administrative information.

Apply for information

If the information you seek is not already available, you can make an RTI application for any information we hold.

Under the RTI 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 RTI access application online. The application fee is payable by credit card.

If you are unable to use this online process, please contact us to discuss alternatives.

The application fee must be paid before your application can be processed.

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 documents you’ve asked for, you may be able to seek a review of its that decision. See the Office of the Information Commissioner for details.

Fees and charges

All RTI applications have an initial fee. This fee cannot be waived.

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).
