Amendments and annotations to personal records
You may apply, under the FOI Act, for amendment or annotation of a record of your personal information that you consider to be incomplete, incorrect, out of date or misleading.
However, several conditions must be met to make a valid request for amendment or annotation which is outlined in the document provided below.
- Information sheet and request form: annotations and amendments to personal information in documents [PDF, 39KB]
- Information sheet and request form: annotations and amendments to personal information in documents [DOC, 82KB]
If you are a former member of the Australian Defence Force (ADF), or former employee of the Department of Defence (DoD), and you wish to have access to personnel records relating to yourself, you must apply for access outside the FOI Act in the first instance.
If you are not satisfied with the outcome, or if you do not receive a decision within 30 days of making your request, you may then seek access under the FOI Act.
