How to make an application

A formal application for documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1992 may be made by application form or letter.

The application must:

be in writing
state an address to which a notification of the decision may be sent
be accompanied by a $36.50 application fee, if the information relates to non personal affairs. There is no application fee to look at documents about your personal affairs, and
be addressed to the Manager, Freedom of Information.

If the documents you require relate to personal affairs, you must provide proof of identification.
