FOI Guidance Notes
The FOI Guidance Notes are intended to assist agencies when considering the application of the Cabinet and deliberative documents exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) when dealing with FOI requests. The notes were developed in consultation with the Australian Information Commissioner, the Freedom of Information Commissioner and the Australian Government Solicitor. They should be read in conjunction with the Australian Information Commissioner’s Guidelines issued under section 93A of the FOI Act, to which regard must be had for the purposes of performing a function, or exercising a power, under the FOI Act.
