The Media Unit welcomes your questions, but due to the large volume of media enquiries we receive, it is not always possible to have face-to-face or phone interviews.

We are available on weekdays during business hours (8am-6pm) and require a minimum 4 hours’ notice to respond to media enquiries.

We are not staffed weekdays 6pm–8am, on weekends or public holidays. If you have an urgent enquiry during these times, please email [email protected] and we will prioritise your request.

  • QLD Traffic: Check traffic conditions, road closures and travel alerts across Queensland.

  • Translink: Plan your journey and get information about public transport, including taxis.
