Under the Access to and Amendment of UQ Documents Procedures, the University has implemented the following administrative access schemes that enable persons to access documents outside the RTI/IP Acts:

• an administrative scheme for staff and students to access their staff or student files;
• limited access to referee reports arising out of continuing appointment and promotion applications for academic staff (levels A-D);
• access to personal information by authorised third-party representatives of staff members, students and clinic patients (eg. CTPI insurers and law firms).

Third-Party Information Requests

Law firms and insurers may apply for access to the personal information of their client (or claimant, where applicable), subject to providing a signed written authorisation from the individual whose records are requested.  All such information requests are to be made via UQ's Third-Party Information Requests page.

UQ charges an application fee for all such requests, along with a per-page photocopying / scanning / collation fee for any requests involving 150+ pages.

Schedule of fees and charges:

The Access to and Amendment of UQ Documents Procedures provides more details on these administrative access schemes.

A person who is a claimant or worker under the provisions of the Workers' Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003 may, by written notice, ask the insurer, Work Injury Management (WIM) Team, to give the person a copy of the documents that relate to the person's application for compensation.

Requests for these documents should be made to the WIM Team.

For access to documents held by UQ clinics (eg. patient files), please refer to the procedures of the relevant University clinic.
