"Rapid Access" application
Dear Queensland Health,
I wish to request information regarding the Queensland Health IT application called Rapid Access.
Specifically, documentation surrounding its use, purpose, any general or administrative documentation or internal documents that reference it is sufficient.
I appreciate that the Right to Know application (the facility) I am using to transmit this request is heavily modelled on the Freedom of Information Act (1982) [Cth] which is not applied in Queensland Government entities, however, I would appreciate this request being handled administratively rather than via the formal Right to Information Act (2009) [Qld] ("the ROI act").
Yours faithfully,
Jim
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your enquiry via the Right to Know portal.
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 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.
Kind regards,
Travis
