The
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) gives you a right to access information held by us, the Department and other Commonwealth agencies. You can request documents we hold and we will assess your request against the provisions of the FOI Act. We will give you the document unless an exemption applies.
Requests are often about manuals, rules and guidelines that we use to make decisions. You can also ask for information about your own visa or citizenship applications or decisions.
You can also amend (change) or annotate (add a comment to) incorrect personal information kept by us.
You can request access to departmental data and statistics via the
Data Request form.
