Requesting records lodged in Queensland
From 1 July 2018, the national system changes the way records related to domestic commercial vessels submitted to Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) are accessed. AMSA and MSQ have agreed to the following process to assist with requests for records.
How to request records in Queensland | |

How do I request records submitted to MSQ after 1 July 2013? | Public requests for records should go directly to AMSA via the Freedom of Information process or Information release authorisation form 664. |
How do I request records submitted to MSQ before 1 July 2013? |
Requests for records created before 1 July 2013 should be made through the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR). You can find more information on the TMR website. |
What if my records span both before and after 1 July 2013? |
If your request spans records submitted before and after 1 July 2013, you may submit your request to AMSA using the process outlined above. |
