The Queensland Information Privacy Act (“IPA”) is a privacy regulation that ensures individuals have their personal information collected, stored, shared, and secured per a strict set of rules by the public sector agencies. The Act is further corroborated by certain "privacy principles" such as the Information Privacy Principles (IPP) and the National Privacy Principles (NPP) that apply to different bodies.
The Office of the Information Commissioner (OIC) (“information commissioner”) is the body primarily responsible for enforcing the IPA across Queensland. Additionally, a privacy commissioner will act as a deputy to the information commissioner, with particular responsibility for matters relating to the information commissioner’s functions.

All users have the right to be given access to a document of an agency or a minister to the extent that they contain the individual's personal information.
All users have the right to amend the documents of an agency or a minister to the extent that they contain the individual's personal information if it has since become inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or outdated.
Here are some important facts to know about Queensland’s Information Privacy Act:
The privacy principles only apply to Queensland's government agencies;
The National Privacy Principles (NPP) applies only to health agencies;
The Information Privacy Principles (IPP) apply to all agencies other than health agencies;
The concerned individual can make an application to the agency or the minister to access or amend his/her personal information by providing an approved form, sufficient information regarding the document, the address to which the notice should be sent, information that he/she considers incomplete/inaccurate, and after ten days of submitting the application, evidence of identity;
An individual can contact the information commissioner to file a privacy complaint if he/she first filed the complaint to the organization and the organization did not respond within 45 days or if the individual is unsatisfied with their response;
Transfer of personal information to any entity outside Australia may only be when:
If the complaint is accepted, a mediation process will be initiated between the user and the offending organization;
If the mediation process does not resolve the issue, the OIC will forward the case to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT);
Any unlawful access, false or misleading information, disclosure to take advantage, failure to produce documents or attend proceedings, and giving misleading directions (orally or written) will be subject to 100 penalty units (as per Crimes Act 1914, one penalty unit equals 275 AUD).
