From 25 October 2026, Queensland state schools no longer need individual consent to use and share your child’s relevant information such as their name and email address when using Approved Online Services.
This means less paperwork for families while keeping student information safe.
Approved Online Services are assessed against a national framework for privacy, online security and other requirements under section 426A of the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 (Qld) before being approved for use in Queensland state schools.
Consent is still required if a service needs sensitive information, such as health information.
If you don’t want your child to use an Approved Online Service, you can opt out by contacting us in writing.
