Welcome to the Queensland Government Right to Information website.

This website provides information about Right to Information in Queensland.

The Right to Information Act 2009 (the RTI Act):

• gives you a right to apply for access to documents held by government agencies and Ministers
• requires each government agency to publish a publication scheme on its website which may include an online disclosure log of documents that have been released in response to Right to Information applications
• establishes the Information Commissioner and Right to Information Commissioner to oversee Right to Information in Queensland

The RTI Act applies to:

• Queensland Government departments
• Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries
• local governments
• public authorities
• certain government-owned corporations

From 1 July 2009, the Right to Information Act 2009 replaced the Freedom of Information Act 1992 and is part of a broader “push” model of greater proactive and routine release of information.
