Which act governs the access to health records in the public sector in Queensland?

The correct answer for the governance of access to health records in the public sector in Queensland is the Health Records Act 2001 (Qld). This act specifically provides a framework for the management of health records, ensuring that individuals have rights concerning their personal health information while addressing the obligations of health service providers regarding the collection, storage, and accessibility of these records.

While the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Right to Information Act 2009 (Qld) concern broader principles of privacy and information access, they do not exclusively govern health records. The Privacy Act focuses on personal information more generally at the federal level, and the Right to Information Act primarily addresses wider access to government-held information, which may include health records but does not specifically regulate them. As for the Data Protection Act 2018, while it aligns with principles of data protection, it does not directly pertain to Queensland's health records legislation.

Thus, the Health Records Act 2001 is the appropriate legislation that specifically outlines the rights related to accessing health records in the public sector in Queensland.
