Freedom of Information (FOI)
The Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) gives you a right request documents
held by the Department of Home Affairs and Administrative Review Tribunal (ART).
They will give you the documents by FOI Act.
You can ask for information about your own visa or citizenship applications or
decisions. You can also amend (change) or annotate (add a comment to) incorrect
personal information.
If you are seeking access to documents, they will require proof of your identity before
the release of any personal information.
If you need to submit a FOI Request to them, we can help to submit your request by
completing the FOI Application Form. At Max M LAWYERS, we specialise in
providing expert legal assistance seeking access to information. We work closely
with you to prepare comprehensive applications, respond to rejections or delays, and
advocate for your right to information.
After submitting your request, we will send you an acknowledgement letter. When a
decision is made on your access request, we let you know about the decision from
them.
