The Right to Information reforms aim to make more information available, provide equal access to information accross all sectors of the community, and provide appropriate protection for individual's privacy.
The Right to Information Act 2009 and the Information Privacy Act 2009 replace the previous Freedom of Information (FOI) laws and provide appropriate safeguards for the way the public sector handles individuals personal information.
Documents held by Queensland Health may be accessed through a variety of mechanisms:
The disclosure log provides access* to documents disclosed by Queensland Health through the RTI / IP process by listing summary information such as title, date of release, description - including number of pages and description of the types of documents released.
* the term 'access' can mean that the document/s are either available on the website, or that they are available through a process or contact information provided on or via the website (e.g. contact details and instructions for ordering or an online form).
Our publication scheme describes and categorises information routinely available from the department. It has been developed to give the community greater access to information as part of the response to the review of Freedom of Information laws. Information is grouped and accessible through seven classes.
