Welcome to FOI in South Australia

This area of the State Records of South Australia website provides assistance and general information to help you gain access to government documents using the South Australian Freedom of Information Act, 1991.

The Freedom of Information Act, 1991 gives you a legally enforceable right of access (subject to certain restrictions) to documents within South Australian State Government Agencies and Local Government Authorities and South Australian Universities.

It does not apply to private businesses or organisations in South Australia.

Separate legislation applies to the Commonwealth government and the governments of the other States and Territories in Australia.

In these web pages, you can:

  • learn about how Freedom of Information (FOI) operates in South Australia
  • access the various forms that support your rights under the Freedom of Information Act, 1991

  • the various types of documents held by the agency which are available for access and
