Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act 1991 (the FOI Act) provides members of the public a legally enforceable right of access (subject to certain restrictions) to documents held by government. Read more about our Freedom of Information Statement.

Disclosure Log

The South Australian Government has committed to the establishment of disclosure logs for all state government agencies to provide central access to non-personal information that has been released under the Freedom of Information Act 1991 (FOI Act).

Requirements are outlined in the Premier and Cabinet Circular PC045 Disclosure Logs for Non-Personal Information Released through Freedom of Information. Information and documents that will be published are those that have already been disclosed to an FOI applicant that:

• are not related to the personal affairs of an individual; and
• could not be claimed as exempt documents/material pursuant to Schedule 1 of the FOI Act, when being publicly released; and
• could not be considered defamatory or a breach of confidentiality or reasonably be anticipated to cause harm to a person.

These guidelines are designed to promote transparency and accountability in government operations.
