Disclosure log
If the information sought is released to you and we consider it may be of interest to other members of the public, details about your application may be recorded in the agency’s ‘disclosure log’. This is published on our website. If you object to this, we must first decide if you are entitled to object and if so, whether the objection outweighs the general public interest in including this information in the disclosure log.
You can only object to the inclusion of information on an agency’s disclosure log for one or more of the following grounds:
- the information includes personal information about you (or a deceased person for whom you are the personal representative)
- the information concerns your business, commercial, professional or financial interests
- the information concerns research that has been, or is being, or is intended to be, carried out by or on your behalf
- the information concerns the affairs of a government of the Commonwealth or another State (and you are entitled to act on behalf of that government agency).
Please note: if an agency decides to include information in its disclosure log despite your objection, you can seek a review of this decision.
