Freedom of Information (FOI) and Privacy

Requests for access to documents under the ACT Freedom of Information Act 1989

The LDA will assist persons to access documents in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act.

Applicants should note that the Freedom of Information Act creates a right of access to existing documents not ‘information’.

All requests should clearly identify the documents sought e.g. by subject matter and/or by an identifiable timeframe.

For further information see the ACT Freedom of Information Act 1989 Guidelines for Applicants. Requests for access may be made on the FOI Request to Access Documents Form.
