Details of FOI Arrangements

Should formal FOI access be required, preliminary enquiries may be made to the FOI Officer on telephone (03) 9905 5137. Formal FOI requests for access to university records under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 must be made in writing, addressed to the FOI Officer and be accompanied by the current application fee. If payment is by cheque or money order, it should be made out to Monash University.

Requests for access should contain sufficient detail to enable specific documents required to be identified. Applicants will be notified in writing of the decision on a request as soon as possible but at least within thirty to forty-five days of the application being received. If access is granted the applicant will be advised at this time of the arrangements for gaining access to the requested documents.

Charges for access will be in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Access Charges) Regulations 2014. The charges will cover time spent searching for documents and the cost of providing access.
