The Freedom of Information Act 1991 gives you a legal right to request changes to documents about you which are incomplete, incorrect, out-of-date, or misleading.

Making an application

Applications to amend a document held by AGD must be made in writing. You can either:

• submit your request online
• complete and submit an amendment application form
• write a letter.

You will need to :

• specify that your application is being made under the Freedom of Information Act 1991
• clearly identify the record to be amended
• provide the relevant information for the records to be amended.
• include an address in Australia where information can be sent.

Where to send applications

If you choose to complete the online application form, your request will be submitted automatically.

For other submissions, where you send your application will depend on the information you are asking for.
