Freedom of Information

On This Page

 

Welcome to FOI in South Australia

This area of the State Records of South Australia website provides assistance and general information to help you gain access to government documents using the South Australian Freedom of Information Act, 1991 (FOI).

The FOI Act gives you a legally enforceable right of access (subject to certain restrictions) to documents within South Australian State Government Agencies and Local Government Authorities and South Australian Universities.

It does not apply to private businesses or organisations in South Australia.

Separate legislation applies to the Commonwealth government and the governments of the other States and Territories in Australia.

In these web pages, you can:

  • learn about how FOI operates in South Australia
  • access the various forms that support your rights under the FOI Act
  • link to Privacy to learn its relationship with FOI.

An Agency FOI Information Statement

Every agency subject to the Freedom of Information Act, 1991 is required to produce an information statement.

Information statements include:

  • the structure and functions of the agency
  • how the functions of the agency affect members of the public
  • the various types of documents held by the agency which are available for access and
  • a description of how the public can obtain access or seek amendment to documents.

The purpose of the information statement is to provide people wanting access to information held by State and Local Government and Universities a snapshot of the types of documents held by that agency, what that agency does, and how a person can access the information they require.

The FOI Information Statement relevant to State Records of South Australia may be viewed at the link below.
