Freedom of Information

The Western Australian Freedom of Information Act 1992 gives people a right of access to documents held by Ministers, State Government Departments, Local Authorities and Statutory Authorities. These bodies are called Agencies. A person has the right to apply for access to the documents of an agency. This right is not affected by any reasons the person has for wishing to obtain access or the agency's belief as to what the person's reasons are for wishing to obtain access.
