How do I access information?

​​You can access much of the information made available by Queensland Rail through its Publication Scheme.

If you cannot find what you are looking for, complete an online customer enquiry form requesting whether or not the information you are looking for is available administratively by the appropriate Queensland Rail business group.

All information held by or under the control of Queensland Rail which is not available by administrative arrangements will need to be applied for under the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld) (RTI Act) or the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld) (IP Act).
