Information Privacy Act

This website provides information about Information Privacy in Queensland.

The Information Privacy Act 2009 (the IP Act):

• gives you a right to apply to access and amend your own personal information
• details the privacy principles public sector agencies must comply with
• establishes the Privacy Commissioner as a deputy to the Information Commissioner with particular responsibility for Information Privacy in Queensland

From 1 July 2009, the IP Act replaced Queensland’s administrative privacy scheme under Information Standard 42 and Information Standard 42A.
