Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Australia) for Risk Managers
What does Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Australia) require of a Risk Manager?
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Australia) gives a legally enforceable right of access to Commonwealth agency documents and Ministers' official documents, subject to defined exemptions, and sets the information publication scheme, request-handling timeframes, decision-notice and charges duties, personal-record amendment rights, and the internal and Information Commissioner review pathways. Under Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Australia), which defines 9 controls, a Risk Manager's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
