Right To Information
What is the right to information?
The Right to Information (RTI) is the Queensland Government's approach to giving the community greater access to information.
The Queensland Government has made a commitment to provide access to information held by the Government, unless on balance it is contrary to the public interest to provide that information.
New legislation replacing the Freedom of Information Act 1992 came into effect on 1 July 2009, namely:
- The Right to Information Act 2009 (PDF, 1040 KB)
- The Information Privacy Act 2009 (PDF, 1005 KB)
The Right to Information reforms aim to make more information available, provide equal access to information across all sectors of the community, and provide appropriate protection for individuals' privacy.
www.qld.gov.au/righttoinformation provides additional information about the whole-of-government policy and more detail about the new legislation.
