Under the ACT Freedom of Information Act 2016 (FOI Act), people are provided a right to access government information. We are required to publish open access information about:
- functional information about the Commission
- documents tabled in the ACT Legislative Assembly
- our disclosure log, found below, which lists information we have released in response to access applications (formal requests for non-personal information).
We recommend you search our website first to see if you can find what you are looking for. If you can’t find what you are looking for, contact us to make an informal request for the information.
You can submit a formal Freedom of Information request by emailing acticfoi@integrity.act.gov.au.
Your request must include:
- enough detail to enable us to identify what information you are looking for
- an email or postal address we can use to contact you
- evidence of your identity (if you are seeking your own personal information)
- authority for an agent to act for you (if you have engaged a lawyer or other third party to represent you).
Provide as much information as you can to help us to process your application. We will process your request within 30 working days.
We will not charge for access to documents containing personal information about you. Processing charges may apply to other requests; however, we will tell you if this is the case. If this occurs, you can ask for the charge to be waived or reduced for any reason, including financial hardship or on the grounds of public interest. You will need to explain your reasons and you may need to provide us with evidence.
Certain exemptions apply to releasing some Commission information under FOI. Exemptions apply, as outlined in the FOI Act, where the access application relates to government information that is contrary to the public interest to disclose (refer to Schedule 1, Part 1.1B, FOI Act).
To appeal or make a complaint about an access application we have made a decision on, contact the ACT Ombudsman.
