Right to Information

What is the right to information?

The Right to Information 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 aims to make more information available, provide equal access to information across all sectors of the community, and provide appropriate protection for individuals' privacy.

The Statement of AffairsPDF file outlines information available from the QCT and how it can be accessed.

Further details about how to access information held by the Queensland College of Teachers will be available here soon.
