How do I make a FOI application?
- Some government departments and agencies have freedom of information forms on their website that you can download or fill in.
- You or your lawyer may also make a request in writing by:
- providing your contact details and return address;
- giving as much detail about the information as you know so that it can be found more easily; and
- stating that you are making a formal request under your state or territory or the Commonwealth’s freedom of information laws.
- You can use our free and anonymous Ask a Lawyer service if you have a particular issue you want to know more about.
