Use of CCTV
QCAT’s premises at 259 Queen Street, Brisbane are protected by closed circuit television (CCTV). QCAT is committed to ensuring that the personal information we collect is managed in accordance with the Privacy Principles contained in the Information Privacy Act 2009.
QCAT uses CCTV systems for 24 hour video surveillance, which monitors and records activity in the following areas.
- QCAT reception, public waiting area and document inspection rooms on Level 9.
- QCAT public waiting areas on Level 10.
The purpose of monitoring and recording these areas is to provide a safe and secure work environment for QCAT staff, visitors and the general public. Video cameras are only used in the areas specified.
Video surveillance is used to deter any form of aggressive, harmful or unlawful behaviour and to help identify offenders. Should an incident occur, the recordings may be provided as evidence to law enforcement authorities (such as the police) to assist with investigations or enquiries. CCTV and video footage is not used to monitor staff performance. However, it may be used to investigate allegations of serious misconduct by staff.
The images the cameras record are securely stored as digital files within the CCTV software, which are only accessible to security staff. These files are stored for a maximum of thirty days after which they are programmed to be automatically erased unless required by law enforcement authorities. Only authorised staff can view these images. Controlled access to the secured footage is strictly maintained. Copies of recordings will not be made for other purposes unless they are relevant for surveillance or are required by law.
