Types of personal information the department holds

The Information Privacy Act 2009 regulates how Queensland Government agencies manage personal information. Under the IP Act, Government agencies are required to manage personal information in accordance with the 11 Information Privacy Principles.

Information about the types of personal information the department holds is contained in our Privacy Guide publication.

If you have a concern about the way in which the department has managed your personal information, or wish to make a privacy complaint, please contact the RTI and Privacy Unit.

The Office of the Information Commissioner is Queensland’s independent body established under the Right to Information Act 2009 (RTI Act) to promote access to government-held information and protect people’s personal information held by government under the IP Act.

A quick guide to your rights and public sector agency responsibilities under the IP Act is contained in "Your Privacy Rights". The Office of the Information Commissioner has a range of information resources available on its website.
