Information requests from other organisations

What is it?

Certain organisations have a legislative or regulatory right to access or collect information to assist them to discharge their duties or undertake their functions.

For example, certain law enforcement agencies, such as Queensland Police Service or Australian Federal Police, have a right to access information where it may assist them to conduct an investigation.

How can information be accessed?

To access information under a legislative or regulatory provision, your organisation must:

• Submit a written request to the RTA;
• Refer to the law and/or regulation and section of the law/regulation that enables the organisation to access or collect the information;
• Provide the name and contact details of the person making the request;
• Provide the name of the person authorising the request; and
• Provide sufficient detail about the information requested to enable an RTA officer to identify the information.

The RTA will return requests to the relevant organisation if they do not quote the law/regulation and relevant section which enables access or collection.

Organisations that cite an Information Privacy Principle (IPP), such as IPP 11, may be required to provide additional information to support their request or cite the relevant law/regulation and relevant section.

What sort of information can be accessed?

Organisations that seek access under these arrangements may only seek information relevant to their legislative or regulatory access or collection provisions. For more information please contact RTA's RTI & IP Contact Officer.

NOTE: The RTA is currently reviewing its policy regarding Information Requests from other Organisations.
