The Western Australian Freedom of Information Act 1992 gives a right of access to information held at WorkCover Western Australia.

Freedom of Information (FOI) applications may be made to:

• gain access to a document;
• amend personal information; or
• review a previous FOI decision regarding access to, or amendment of, a document.

Before submitting an application, clarify whether you really need to.  An FOI application is the process of last resort and is only applicable where no other means of access exist or where access to information is restricted.

To clarify if an FOI application is necessary or for more information, contact WorkCover's FOI Coordinator on (08) 9388 5555.  Alternatively, you can download WorkCover's FOI statement from the related links section to the right of your screen.

More information on the FOI process is available from the Office of the Information Commissioner.
