FOI Questions

Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, you have the right to request access to documents held by the Repatriation Medical Authority (RMA).

The FOI Act gives any person the right to:

• access copies of documents (except exempt documents) we hold
• ask for information we hold about you to be changed or annotated if it is incomplete, out of date, incorrect or misleading
• seek a review of our decision not to allow you access to a document or not to amend your personal record. 

You can ask to access any document we hold. We can refuse access to some documents, or parts of documents, that are exempt from disclosure. Exempt documents may include those relating to national security, documents containing material obtained in confidence and Cabinet documents, or other matters set out in the FOI Act.

Your request must:

• be in writing (email is sufficient)
• state that the request is an application for the purposes of the FOI Act
