Freedom of Information requests

The Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) gives members of the community a legally enforceable right to information held by the government. The Department of Transport supports this right by:

1. making information about the Department's operations available to the public
2. making all rules and information about practices readily available to those affected by them
3. facilitating a general right of access to documents held by the department (This access is limited only by the proper application of exceptions and exemptions provided for under the FOI Act.)
4. delivering an efficient, timely and reasonably-costed process for disclosing information.

The Freedom of Information Officer for the Department of Transport can be contacted via email or by phoning 03 9655 6380.
