Publicly available information released following an FOI access request

NHMRC is required by section 11C of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) to publish a disclosure log on its website. The disclosure log lists information which has been released in response to an FOI access request.

The disclosure log requirement does not apply to:

  • personal information about any person if publication of that information would be unreasonable
  • information about the business, commercial, financial or professional affairs of any person if publication of that information would be unreasonable
  • other information covered by a determination made by the Australian Information Commissioner if publication of that information would be unreasonable
  • any information if it is not reasonably practicable to publish the information because of the extent of modifications that would need to be made to delete the information listed in the above dot points.
  • Information attached to, or referred to, in NHMRC’s disclosure log may be removed after 12 months, unless the information has enduring public value.

The FOI Act also requires the NHMRC to actively publish a range of information under the Information Publication Scheme (IPS). For further information, view Information Publication Scheme.

Information about making a Freedom of Information request, in relation to information held by the NHMRC, can be found at Freedom of Information.
