Good Morning,

 

Thank you for your enquiry via the Right to Know portal.  Please accept my
sincere apologies for the delay in acknowledging your email.

 

If you are seeking access to information under the Right to Information
Act 2009 (the RTI Act), you must make an application directly to the
Agency, and it must also satisfy the following requirements:

 

•           Be on the approved form.

•           Be accompanied by the application fee.

•           Give sufficient information concerning the document to enable
an officer of the agency to identify it.

•           State whether or not the applicant is accessing the documents
to benefit another entity (the beneficiary) and, if they are, identify the
beneficiary.

•           Include evidence of ID, and if the applicant has an agent,
include evidence of the agent's ID and evidence of authority3, only if the
application is for the applicant's personal information.

•           State an address to which notices can be sent         

 

The best way to submit an application under the RTI Act is via the
Queensland Government online portal, at [1]www.rti.qld.gov.au   This
method will allow you to pay the mandatory application fee via credit card
when you submit the application.

 

If you are seeking information outside of formal RTI legislation, you may
make contact with Queensland Health at the following link: 
https://www.qld.gov.au/contact-us. However, you may be directed to submit
a formal RTI application.

 

I hope this information is of assistance.

COVID-19

Our team has been implementing business continuity processes and
increasingly officers will be working remotely. Accordingly, we suggest
that you contact us via email. There is likely to be no access to the unit
phone, nor the mailbag.

It should also be noted that as a Queensland Health employee we may be
diverted from our usual duties to assist with emerging tasks, this may
impact the timeliness of our responses, but we will endeavour to advise
you of any delays with the appropriate extension provisions allowed by
legislation.

During this unprecedented period, we do ask for your patience and ask that
you continue to treat our employees respectfully.
