How far back does FOI apply?

In general, the FOI Act relates to information created after 21 April 1998. However, the following situations are exempt from this:

  • you can access your personal information regardless of when we created it if it is still in existence.
  • non-personal information we created prior to 21 April 1998 where it makes sense of the current record.
