The Queensland Government requires that personal information held by Queensland Government agencies be responsibly and transparently collected and managed in accordance with the requirements of the government's privacy policy.

The primary intent of the policy is to protect the privacy of personal information of the people of Queensland collected and used in the delivery of government services and the conduct of government business.

The Queensland Government has not enacted legislation to achieve this aim, rather the current scheme operates as an administrative policy.

The government's policy on privacy is set out in:
