Right to Information
The Right to Information (RTI) Act aims to make more information available and provide equal access across the community, while ensuring appropriate privacy for individuals.
Further information about whole-of-government policy and the relevant legislation is available from the Queensland Government's RTI website.
How to apply for information
If you are seeking access to documents that are not already available in our Publication Scheme, Disclosure Log or by Administrative Access Schemes, you can apply under the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld) (RTI Act).
To request access or copies of documents held by NQBP, please download the Right to Information Form from the RTI website and complete it.
If you only want to request access to your personal information or you want to apply to have that information corrected, we ask that you consult our Privacy Policy in the first instance.
You may also apply under the RTI Act to access or amend documents containing your personal information. This may be helpful for types of personal information not covered by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Please be aware, however, that if the personal information you are seeking under the RTI Act is also accessible under our Privacy Policy, this may be a reason your application under the RTI Act could be refused.
Application forms must:
- be accompanied by the application fee where applicable (where emailed we will contact you to discuss payment options)
- give sufficient information concerning the document to enable the identification of the document
- state the applicant’s address
- state whether access to the document is sought for the benefit of, or use of the document by, the applicant or another entity
- if access to the document is sought for the benefit of or use of the document by an entity other than the applicant, include the name of the other entity.
Applicants must also provide:
- evidence of identity of the applicant
- if an agent is acting for the applicant – evidence of the agent’s authorisation and evidence of identity of the agent.
Applicants must provide these with the application or within 10 days of making the application.
Details about basic charges for an RTI access application can be found here. Additional fees and charges are treated on a case-by-case basis and will be provided in the ‘Charges Estimate Notice’ required under section 36 of the RTI Act.

Administrative access schemes
Our administrative access schemes (policies and publications) provide information available for purchase on application to either NQBP or another agency holding the information. Fees associated with the purchase of documents within administrative access schemes are provided in our Schedule of Fees and Charges.
