Dear Queensland Department of Education and Training,

ADMINLAW, rti, Queensland Department of Education

Good morning,

 

I refer to your request for information pertaining to data from the
Integrity and Employee Relations Unit. This appears to be a duplicate
request of similar requests lodged in relation to Southport Special
School. As per previous correspondence regarding those requests:

•             Some of the information requested would be impractical or
otherwise unsuitable for administrative release

•             A Right to Information application would be required for any
non-personal information sought

 

It is noted that Queensland government records are subject to the
Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld) (IP Act) and the Right to Information
Act 2009 (Qld) (RTI Act). The Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI
Act) does not apply to the records you have sought and therefore any
requests made via the Right to Know website are administrative requests,
rather than legislative, and the Department is not required by law to
respond. Should you wish to proceed with a new request for the various
information you are seeking, the correct avenue is to lodge either an IP
or RTI application. This can be done online at:
https://www.smartservice.qld.gov.au/serv....

 

For further information on accessing records of the Department of
Education (Qld), please refer to the Department’s webpage ‘How do I access
information?’ available at:

Kind Regards,
