Advice on FOI requests (back to FOI Related Services)

FOI Solutions is pre-eminent in the field of FOI. We provide advice or assistance on any or all aspects of freedom of information, including the processing of FOI requests. This includes advice in relation to:

• validity of requests
• whether requests need be processed
• deposits, access charges and other fees
• exemptions and their application
• consultation with third parties
• amendment of personal information
• review and appeal rights.

Advice and assistance is provided in a practical and meaningful way. It is relevant to the context in which it is sought. Consideration is given to the consequences that may flow from that advice, including legal, political, economic, public relations and other consequences. This can include awareness and consideration of the possibility of unwanted media attention or FOI Commissioner inquiry.

If you require assistance in relation to processing FOI requests or have any queries about how the FOI legislation operates in in your jurisdiction, please feel free to contact us to discuss your needs on a strictly confidential basis.

If you do not want legal assistance, but need administrative assistance, please contact our partner organisation, FOI Support
