Understand the limitation of FOI requests

FOI is not a process to request or obtain answers to questions or information that is not contained in public body records. Those questions should be submitted directly to the applicable department, outside of the FOI process.

The appropriate department that you believe holds the record(s) you’re looking for is often a faster and easier way to get the information you need.

While we require all the information listed below in the request for information, you are welcome to email us with any questions you may have.
