Right to Information

The Right to Information Act 2009 and the Information Privacy Act 2009 came into effect on 1 July 2009, replacing the Freedom of Information laws.

The aim is to:

• Maximise public access to information held by government (unless on balance it is contrary to the public interest to provide that information)
• Provide appropriate protection for individuals’ privacy

The act applies to all Queensland government agencies – including departments, boards, statutory authorities and councils.
