Our lists
We are committed to making our information assets available free to the community to support open, accountable and transparent government. A moderate amount of information including datasets is collected or produced as a result of our assistance and monitoring, training, external review, and privacy complaint functions. This information will be expanded over time. Access to the listed Information Assets is in accordance with Queensland legislative requirements. In addition, our Open Data Strategy sets out datasets which are available in formats that promote reuse and can be accessed on our website. These datasets are also available through the Queensland Government’s Open Data Portal.
Please note that a large proportion of review and complaint data is not suitable for release due to legal requirements regarding confidentiality.
