​​​​​​​​​​​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.

Legisla​​tion replacing the Freedom of Information Act 1992 came into effect on 1 July 2009:

The Right to Information aims to make more information available, provide equal access to information across all sectors of the community, and provide appropriate protection for individuals' privacy. ​However, formal applications under the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld) and Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld) should be used only as a last resort. You should seek administrative release of department records in the first instance. For further information on how to access the department’s records, please refer to How do I access information?

More detailed information about RTI can be found at the Queensland Government Right to Information website.
