Good afternoon,

Thank you for your email.

You may apply for access to department documents by lodging an application
under the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld) (RTI application). 

An RTI application may be lodged either:

(1)          by completing the [1]online Right to Information application
form; or

(2)          completing the hard copy Right to Information application
form (attached) and sending the application form to [QED request email].

Please note: the current application fee for an RTI application is $55.75.

Further information about lodging an RTI application is located on the
[2]Queensland Government Whole of Government Right to Information
webpage.  The Office of the Information Commissioner Queensland also has
an information sheet ‘[3]How do I apply for government documents?’ which
provides further information about lodging an application.

Kind regards

Fiona Headrick

Good morning,

I refer to your request for information pertaining to data pertaining to parent complaints for 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: https://alt-qed.qed.qld.gov.au/about-us/....
