Disclosure log

Publicly available information released following an FOI access request

Note: There are no FOI releases by the OACC that meet the criteria for disclosure at this time. Most FOI requests to the OACC are made by individuals in relation to their complaint file. These releases do not meet the criteria for public release in this disclosure log.

The Office of the Aged Care Commissioner (OACC) is required by section 11C of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 to publish a disclosure log on its website. The disclosure log lists information which has been released in response to an FOI access request since 1 May 2011 and is available for public access. .

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.
